8: DISTRESS TOLERANCE-Crisis Survival Skills Part 2

Today we go over Wise Mind ACCEPTS, Self-Soothe with the five senses, and IMPROVE the moment.

Homework:

Freshman: Self-soothe with the five senses at least once per day on purpose this week.

JV: Try different ways to IMPROVE the moment. Try something from at least three categories and write down if/how well they worked for you. Start making a list of what’s effective in this area.

Varsity: Go through each of the lists we went over today. Write down at least one example of something you can do for each letter/sense. Put that list somewhere where you can see it every day and where it’s easy to access.
