TIPP Skill Worksheet Overview
The TIPP Skill from DBT is designed to help you quickly reduce intense emotions and regain control. It uses somatic techniques (focused on the body) to bring down emotional arousal by activating your parasympathetic nervous system. This worksheet will guide you through each step.
In this worksheet, we’ll:
- Describe each TIPP step (temperature, intense exercise, paced breathing, paired muscle relaxation)
- Describe effective rethinking, an alternative to paired muscle relaxation
- Link to written scripts and corresponding videos for paired muscle relaxation and effective rethinking meditations
- Provide space to record TIPP Skill practice
