Finding Your Emotional Balance: The Window of Tolerance in Recovery & Healing

Ever feel like you’re bouncing between too much anxiety and total shutdown? That’s your nervous system leaving its “just right” zone. That's what therapists call the Window of Tolerance. In this episode, I’ll explain what that window actually is (without all the jargon), why it matters for your recovery and healing, and how to start noticing when you’re drifting too high or too low. Think of it like your emotional thermostat: too hot, too cold, or balanced in the middle. By the end, you’ll know how to recognize your own patterns and take steps to expand your window, so recovery and healing feels less like survival mode and more like living.
