Before completing this inventory, take a few moments to think about an event or situation that has been very stressful for you during the last month – a situation that was troubling you, either because it made you feel bad or because it took effort to deal with it (for example, with your family, school, job, or friends). Briefly describe this stressful event in your own words: what happened, who was involved, what made it important to you, and what you did.
Once again, take a few minutes to think about your chosen event.
As you read through the following items, please answer them based on how you handled your event.
Please read each item below and determine the extent to which you used it in handling your chosen event.
