Repressive Coping, Trauma, and Behavioral Change

Course overview

This course will explore the repressive coping style. Specifically, it will contextualize repressive coping in an emotional regulation framework and then explore how repressors present in clinical settings, how well repressors cope with severe trauma and loss, and how they respond to clinical settings.
