The DBT skill TIPP is an effective short-term strategy to help kids and teens learn how to quickly regulate their emotions and behavior. The purpose of distress tolerance skills is to assist clients in coping with emotional distress temporarily, and replace dysfunctional behaviors that could harm them. When practiced regularly, these skills improve over time and can be particularly helpful during highly stressful situations. The DBT TIPP Skills Worksheet asks clients to identify at least one TIPP skill to practice for the week in preparation for a crisis and reflect on their emotional triggers afterward. Furthermore, it asks them to write down the actual skills they used and rate the intensity of their emotions. This worksheet helps kids and teens to be mindful of their emotions over the week and helps them focus on a task or a situation without being overwhelmed. Caring adults can use this tool to help kids and teens focus on identifying and labeling emotions and help them clarify what they are feeling. It pairs nicely with our DBT TIPP Skills handout. *This item is an instant digital download. A link to download your files will be emailed to you once payment is confirmed.
