It's TIPP Tuesday!

TIPP is one of several DBT distress tolerance skills that can help us manage very intense emotions. It can also be helpful for coming out of dissociation, which commonly happens in response to intense emotions.

TIPP stands for: Tip the Temperature, Intense Exercise, Paced Breathing, & Progressive Muscle Relaxation.

• Have you practiced the TIPP skill lately? When did you need it?
• Did it work for you? Why or why not? How did you feel afterwards?
• If you haven't used it, why is that?
• Was there a situation where you could have used the TIPP skill?
