Re-Release - CPTSD - Working With the Window of Tolerance (Hyper and Hypoarousal)

Original Airdate - April 9th, 2022

"Window of Tolerance" a term coined by Dr. Dan Siegel is now commonly used to understand and describe  normal brain/body reactions, especially following adversity. The concept suggests that we have an optimal arousal level when we are within the window of tolerance that allows for the ebb and flow (ups and downs of emotions) experienced by human beings. We may experience hurt, anxiety, pain, anger that brings us close to the edges of the window of tolerance but generally we are able to utilize strategies to keep us within this window. Similarly we may feel too exhausted, sad, or shut down but we generally shift out of this.
