TIPS & TRICKS FOR REGULATED BADDIES

TIPP SKILL: One of My Favorite DBT Tools

The TIPP Breakdown: When life feels like it’s hitting 100 mph and your emotions are red-lining, you usually can’t "think" your way out of it. Your brain’s logic center has effectively left the building. That’s where the TIPP skill comes in—it’s the "emergency brake"

  • T - Temperature: Splash your face with ice-cold water or hold an ice cube. This triggers the Mammalian Dive Reflex, which naturally slows your heart rate.

  • I - Intense Exercise: Do jumping jacks, sprint, or push against a wall for 60 seconds. It burns off the excess "fight or flight" energy stored in your muscles.

  • P - Paced Breathing: Slow your breath down. Aim for a 4-second inhale and a 6-second exhale. This signals your parasympathetic nervous system to calm down.

  • P - Paired Muscle Relaxation: Tense a muscle group (like your shoulders) as hard as you can while inhaling, then notice the sensation of "letting go" as you exhale and release.

Alternate Nostril Breathing

If TIPP is the emergency brake, Nadi Shodhana (Alternate Nostril Breathing) is the precision tuning for your nervous system.

Coming from the yogic tradition, "Nadi" means channel and "Shodhana" means purification. It’s a powerful breathwork technique designed to balance the left and right hemispheres of the brain, quiet a racing mind, and steady your heart rate.

How to Do It

  1. The Setup: Sit comfortably. Use your right thumb to close your right nostril and your ring finger to close your left.

  2. Inhale Left: Close the right nostril, breathe in deeply through the left.

  3. Switch: Close the left nostril, open the right, and exhale.

  4. Inhale Right: Breathe in through the right nostril.

  5. Switch: Close the right, open the left, and exhale.
