- Explanation and demonstration of the Dive Reflex, referred to in DBT as a TIPP skill for emotion regulation. This can be used for reducing your anxiety or extreme emotions quickly in a crisis situation. This is an immediate, short-term solution for bringing emotions down to a manageable intensity and should be followed up by using other skills such as checking the facts, opposite action, distract, self sooth, or problem solving.
Fantastic job with this video. I run 4 skills groups a week and I now show this video in all of them when I teach TIPP.
Thanks Iain Halstead! That's great to hear. 😊
We sure do love this video Nikki! You rock!
Excellent demonstration, thank you very much.
Thank you for creating this! I am a DBT therapist from Portland, Oregon and am planning to share this with my virtual DBT skills group this week!
Great video! Thank you Nikki!
It works!
Thank you...🙏
Thank you for this demonstration, you explained it well. I really need to start doing this 👏
I use this video constantly to share with others. It's a very good technique :)
That's wonderful! 🥰
Hello, just got a chance to check out your video! I've heard of this technique before! Visualizing it is even better! Thank you for sharing this information with us viewers! Sending big hugs from Toronto Canada
Thank you so much! I hope it helps. Feel free to share. (Sorry about the late reply, I missed a lot of comments apparently.)
I love this video! You did such an excellent job explaining! I will be sending this to clients to help them practice at home!
Thank you so much! 🥰
Thank you so much for making these videos:)
You're very welcome! I'm hoping they reach the people who need. 💜
Dear Nikki, thank you so much for posting this clip. We showed it in our DBT skills group here in Australia and our ladies loved it!
Wow Pauline Cole, that's really cool. Thanks. :)
I hope you don't mind...I show it in my DBT group as well. Its WAY better than anything I could ever demonstrate!
@@CK_Row That's wonderful! Thank you! (Sorry for the late reply, I missed this one.)
It works for me as well
Nice job, Nikki! I try to teach this in the ER but it can be a hard thing to teach with limited access to the right spaces and materials. I am going to direct future patients to your video :) Also, I love the shirt!
Kerrie Jack - I find those instant ice packs that you buy for first aid kits to be super helpful in situations where the proper materials aren't available. They're pretty cheap if you buy them online in bulk. They might be worth requesting for your department.
I guess this is where the "go soak your head" expression came from..🤣😋
Can I just say that I love and WANT that t-shirt! Except in my home, I would change it to cat :)
I have anxiety about needels I wonder if this technicque would work to lower my blood pressure? I try and donate plasma but stress over such dumb things.
Hi Cheryl. I know that heart rate reduces drastically with this technique but I'm not sure about blood pressure. I think it's definitely worth trying out. I'd suggest initially trying it at home when the anxiety is only moderate. Unfortunately, I can't test that myself because my blood pressure is chronically on the low side. Let us know how it goes.
I'd also just like to point out that stress and anxiety generally happen for a reason. It may be the result of a learned response from past negative experiences, a brain issue, or a number of other things. What it is not though, is dumb. It's a challenge that you are clearly trying to work through. Keep it up, but maybe see if you can try to reduce the self judgement when you notice it come up. 💜
Can I "like" this video twice?? :]
Can this work for someone with Complex PTSD trying to leave the freeze response?
Liz Lake, it does for me, once I can get myself moving enough to grab an ice pack or ask someone to grab me a bowl of ice water.
Wonderful! I'll be trying it. Thank you!
Surely doing it for such time would increase the heart beat?
This seems illogical but it's a bit of a human body hack. Putting your face in cold water can help ease intense emotions by triggering what's called the mammalian dive reflex. This reflex slows our heart rate and activates our parasympathetic nervous system. Emotion is something we often experience mostly with our bodies.
This may not work for everyone though. For example, if putting your face in water is triggering or causes panic, that may increase heart rate. This may not be an effective tool for everyone.
Why not try it out and see if it's effective for you?
The breathing of camera person is giving me anxiety. But thanks for the video.
Same!
I'd be more anxious if they weren't breathing :P
That makes sense. I believe the person behind the camera was anxious about being behind the camera.
I don't think it's the camera person's breathing as it stops while she takes the dive.
