I agree with this statement as these two coping styles can lead to serious potential consequences in the long term. Behavioral disengagement occurs when someone reduces their efforts to cope with the stressor; this is also reflected in the feeling of helplessness.

A serious consequence of focusing and venting emotions can be permanent damage to interpersonal relationships since dwelling on these negative feelings can cause tension between
