Dialectical Behaviour Therapy : Distress Tolerance

New Zealand · CPD courses & CPD points · Health Professionals

A useful understanding of impulsive behaviour is the tendency for clients to “do” their feelings as actions in the outside world.

Impulsive behaviours are discharged emotions rather than actions that can address or communicate thoughts and feelings.

In order to reduce impulsive behaviour, clients would need to be able to tolerate intense and distressing feelings without acting on urges.

The Distress Tolerance Skills are those skills that prevent distressing situations becoming worse. If clients are able to experience the distressing feelings without acting on urges, the distress is able to ebb and flow without long term damage being done, to the self, relationships, and work. This talk outlines the practical "what skills" to equip clients to tolerate distress.
