DBT TIPP Skills (Part 1 - Dive Reflex)

Explanation and demonstration of the Dive Reflex, referred to in DBT as a TIPP skill for emotion regulation. This can be used for reducing your anxiety or extreme emotions quickly in a crisis situation. This is an immediate, short-term solution for bringing emotions down to a manageable intensity and should be followed up by using other skills such as checking the facts, opposite action, distract, self sooth, or problem solving.

Fantastic job with this video. I run 4 skills groups a week and I now show this video in all of them when I teach TIPP.

Dear Nikki, thank you so much for posting this clip. We showed it in our DBT skills group here in Australia and our ladies loved it!

Hello, just got a chance to check out your video! I've heard of this technique before! Visualizing it is even better! Thank you for sharing this information with us viewers! Sending big hugs from Toronto Canada

Nice job, Nikki! I try to teach this in the ER but it can be a hard thing to teach with limited access to the right spaces and materials. I am going to direct future patients to your video :) Also, I love the shirt!

I guess this is where the "go soak your head" expression came from..🤣😋

Can this work for someone with Complex PTSD trying to leave the freeze response?

[cherylvisser]

I have anxiety about needels I wonder if this technicque would work to lower my blood pressure? I try and donate plasma but stress over such dumb things.

Can I just say that I love and WANT that t-shirt! Except in my home, I would change it to cat :)

[tekylaNlime]

The breathing of camera person is giving me anxiety. But thanks for the video.

[jamihoxmeier]

Can I "like" this video twice?? :]

[SuperGlen]

Surely doing it for such time would increase the heart beat?
