Coping Skills: TV and Movies

[ysabetwordsmith]

Folks have mentioned an interest in questions and conversations that make them think. So I've decided to offer more of those. This is the current list of coping skills.

6. Watch television or a movie.

If you have trouble thinking what to watch when stressed, consider making a list or keeping a shelf of EFA videos.  I prefer rewatching things I've seen before, usually lighter stuff, often animated.

Re: Suggestion- go with re-watching

Yeah, that's one reason I prefer rewatching. Another is that, if I'm comfort-watching, I usually don't have the focus to pay close attention to complex plot or subtle characterization. Rewatching not only makes it easier to choose something simpler, it means I've already analyzed the thing so I don't have to do it then.

I just don't have a lot of options without paying for some kind of subscription. Which bites.
