Answer:

Emotional Processing and Emotional Expression

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to respond to emotional situations, two approaches are involved in approach-oriented emotion-focused coping:

i) Emotional processing: reflects how individuals process stress related events and move past them. In the event of re-occurrence of the events, the individuals will not be as disrupted as when the instance first occurred.

ii) Emotional expression: entails communicating and sharing emotions expressly i.e. whether verbally or non-verbally. Expressive writing on emotional disclosure e.g by use of journals, is known to help individuals to overcome previous depressive symptoms.
