Excited to partner with Cedar House School for an upcoming workshop on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills, tailored for educators supporting teenagers, especially neurodiverse students.

We'll explore DBT’s core principles: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Through evidence-based insights, real-world examples, interactive exercises, and group discussions, we’ll equip you with practical tools to build resilience, reduce impulsive behaviours, and foster supportive school environments.

This aligns perfectly with Cedar House’s mission of “Education for our time.” Grateful for the opportunity to support this innovative community as we kick off the new year. Looking forward to an impactful session!

🧠 Feeling overwhelmed, panicky, or like your emotions are at 100?�DBT’s TIPP skill is your emergency brake for the nervous system 🚑✋
TIPP = Temperature 🌡️ | Intense Exercise 💪 | Paced Breathing 🫁 | Progressive Muscle Relaxation 🧘‍♀️
Today, let’s talk about the MOST powerful one when you need FAST relief:�🔥 TEMPERATURE CHANGE (the “T” in TIPP) ❄️
Your face has a superpower: when it hits something COLD, it instantly triggers the mammalian dive reflex 🦭�→ Vagus nerve kicks in�→ Heart rate drops�→ Blood pressure lowers�→ Stress hormones plummet�→ Panic cycle? Interrupted in SECONDS ⏱
How to do it (takes less than a minute):
1️⃣ Grab ice water, an ice pack, or even a cold drink�2️⃣ Hold your breath & dunk your face (eyes + cheeks) in ice water for 15–30 seconds�(Can’t dunk? Splash cold water or press ice cubes to forehead/wrists/neck)�3️⃣ Come up, breathe, repeat 2–3 times if needed
Real-life hacks:�🏠 At home → bowl of ice water�🚗 In the car → blast AC on face�☕ In public → hold an iced drink to your neck (super discreet)
⚠️ Safety first: Skip if you have heart issues or Raynaud’s—check with your doctor.�This is an emergency tool, not a long-term fix. Once you’re calm, layer in your other skills 💕
You’ve got a built-in reset button on your face. Use it when the wave feels too big.
