Study Notes
Introduction to Distress Tolerance Skills Module
- The main goal of distress tolerance is to survive crisis situations without making them worse and to accept reality as it is.
- Accepting reality is the only way out of suffering, and when pain is not accepted, it leads to suffering.
- The distress tolerance module aims to help cope with intense negative emotions and quiet them down to make room for choices in responding to a situation.
- The module is split into two sections: crisis survival skills and reality acceptance skills.
- Crisis survival skills include stop skill, pros and cons, tip skills, distraction, self-soothe, and improve the moment.
- These skills can be both helpful and unhelpful, and should only be used in crisis situations that are short-term, highly stressful, and have the potential for negative outcomes.
- Examples of when to use crisis survival skills include intense physical pain, strong urges to act on emotions, overwhelming emotions, demands that must be met, and elevated arousal levels.
- These skills should not be used for everyday problem-solving or long-term problems.
- The biggest sign that these skills are working well is that the situation has not been made worse.
- These skills are not emotion regulation skills but can lead to feeling better as a result.
- The ultimate goal of distress tolerance is freedom, which means feeling at peace and content with oneself and one's life, no matter the circumstances.
- There may be other goals specific to the individual that can be considered and written down.
