BASIC-ph Model of Coping

Here are six areas of developing coping resources. It was developed by Mooli Lahad.

In Epicurean philosophy we see how we have within us a natural urge to move away from pain and toward pleasure, and I see this model as six areas which can be developed to build resilience by moving toward that which is pleasant and pleasurable.

Here is a diagram I made:

Under the category of developing resilience through "beliefs and values" ---> one possible activity for an individual oriented toward the study of the philosophy of Epicurus, would be to create a home altar with either a picture or a bust of Epicurus. Altars can also be decorated with natural elements of water, earth, and fire (flowers in a vase of water, and candles or electric lights)...etc. etc.. And either books or cherished excerpts or Principal Doctrines, etc (hand written on nice paper or printed out by inkjet) can also be placed on an altar. It is up to each individual to decide whether or not this feels like something that they would enjoy doing.
