This chapter focuses specifically on types of emotional coping techniques that students with dyslexia may want to employ to help with overcoming negative emotion in association with their studies. Admittedly, whilst many cognitive techniques presented up to this point in the book, do help to alleviate negative emotion such as anxiety, particularly through use of organisation, preparation, and rehearsal, dyslexic learners need additional methods to supplement these techniques as ways to help them to cope more effectively emotionally. As such, this chapter presents a range of productive emotional coping methods, as used by dyslexic learners that readers may want to consider as mechanisms for helping to deal with negative emotion. These include developing metacognition by identifying anxiety triggers, using cognitive restructuring to alter the inner critic, talking to someone; planning and using strategies; implementing breaks; participating in exercise; seeking comfort; and using mental resilience, such as persistence and determination.
