When you're at a high level of distress, feeling like you're about to reach a breaking point, having effective coping strategies can make all the difference. One of the most powerful tools we teach in our DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) groups is the TIPP skill. This set of crisis survival skills is designed to help you cope and bring your body back to a state of regulation, especially when you're experiencing extreme stress, typically rated as 8 to 10 on the stress meter.
