🐾 The Lost Cat Mystery: Brave Coping, Protective Coping, and Radical Openness! 🐾

What do you do when your cat goes missing? In this hilarious and heartwarming adventure, siblings Sam and Ellie tackle the mystery of their missing cat, Whiskers, using two very different coping styles—Brave Coping (Approach Coping) and Protective Coping (Avoidant Coping). With the help of their clever neighbor Dakota (and a surprise visit from Zorg!), they learn how Radical Openness can help them balance their strategies, stay curious, and find the best solution.

✨ What You’ll Learn:

✔️ The difference between Brave Coping (Approach Coping) and Protective Coping (Avoidant Coping).

✔️ Why Radical Openness means staying curious and gathering new information.

✔️ How to use the right coping style for the right situation.

💡 Featured Lessons:

Brave Coping helps us tackle problems head-on. Protective Coping helps us step back and regroup. Both are useful—but only if we stay open and flexible! Otherwise they can get in the way!
