Coping Vs. Healing

There’s a difference between coping & healing. Nowadays, we are often taught a bunch of coping mechanisms, but are never taught to heal...& we get the two confused.

Healing is chipping away at the burden by directly addressing it until it’s gone, totally alleviating you of it’s effects. (Future Doctor Taleesa Peck)  A conversation between Sam and Mikell Rozier regarding Coping and Healing.
