Dialectical Behavior Therapy’s distress tolerance skills are
used to support us when we are feeling distressed or overwhelmed.
Sometimes, when we feel our feelings, we can’t respond to them in
the way we would like to - either because we are in a space where
we can’t (like at a work meeting), or we are feeling our emotion
very intensely. Self-soothing is a distress tolerance skill that
uses our senses to soothe our distress. By finding soothing things
we can see, hear, taste, touch, or smell, our emotions become
soothed as well.
