Which item is NOT part of the Big 4 coping strategies?

The Big 4 coping strategies are immediate tools used to regulate your emotions and physiological arousal in the moment: tactical breathing to calm the body, visualization to anticipate and rehearse safe responses, and positive self-talk to keep your thinking constructive. Strategic retreat planning, while important for safety, is about deciding to disengage or create space in a situation rather than applying a mental-regulation technique in the moment. Because of that, it isn’t considered one of the Big 4 coping strategies. The other three are included, which is why the item about strategic retreat planning is the one that doesn’t fit.
