Coping strategies list, built from your client's own sessions
Pull together every coping strategy or regulation skill we have practiced with this client. Group similar tools together, add the situations we used them for when that is documented, and keep it short enough to be useful outside session.

Tools you have practiced together:
Fictional example · No real client data.
Skills, exercises, grounding strategies, routines, and resources previously discussed are pulled from past sessions.
Group the tools by situation, symptom, or purpose so the list is usable when someone is dysregulated.
Review it for accuracy, add your framing, and share the version that makes sense for the client.
Strategies a person uses to manage stress, difficult emotions or urges: grounding, paced breathing, cognitive reframing, behavioral activation, distraction, self-soothing, seeking support and problem solving, among others. Different skills fit different situations.
Specificity. A generic printable list gets ignored; a one-page list of the tools you actually taught this client, in the words you used and tied to the situations they face, gets used. Fewer, familiar skills beat a long menu.
From the strategies you and the client covered in sessions. It lists each tool, when it applies and how you described it, on one page you can review and share.
That is what it is for. Review it, adjust the wording to match how you taught each skill, then share it the way you share any handout. Nothing goes to the client until you send it.
