Distress tolerance skills are essential for managing emotional pain effectively without resorting to unhealthy coping mechanisms like overeating or substance abuse. These techniques are integral to dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) developed by Marsha Linehan and provide a roadmap for surviving tough moments without complicating life further. By adopting a personalized menu of strategies, individuals can enhance their emotional resilience over time, preventing the escalation of minor issues into larger problems. Repeated practice of these skills provides a more graceful approach to life's unavoidable challenges.
Distress tolerance skills are strategies for surviving difficult moments without making things worse.
