Distress Tolerance - Handling Rough Emotions
Let's chat about Distress Tolerance:
Distress tolerance is about handling tough emotions or situations. It means staying calm, making good choices, and bouncing back from hard times. It helps you deal with challenges, especially during the school year.Remember that developing distress tolerance is important for managing emotions and overcoming challenges, especially during the school year. Use healthy coping skills like deep breathing, mindfulness, seeking support from trusted adults, spending time in fresh air, getting sunshine, staying hydrated, stretching, laughing, and more. Asking for help is okay, and every challenge you overcome makes you stronger.Three top tips for building distress tolerance:
1. Practice deep breathing and mindfulness techniques to stay calm during tough times.
2. Seek support from trusted adults or friends when facing challenges.
3. Remember that it's okay to ask for help—it's a sign of strength, not weakness.
Please be advised: When trying to handle tough feelings, focus on staying safe first. If things feel too hard, ask for help from a grown-up you trust or a mental health professional. These tricks can help, but they're not the same as getting real help for safety concerns. Always stay safe and ask for help if you need it.
