Today’s topic….the window of tolerance. You’re probably wondering what on earth that is and why it relates to mental health. I’m going to be talking about what the window of tolerance is, what can affect it, and how it relates to our day to day functioning.
We all handle stress differently, and no two people react to an event or an interaction in exactly the same way. For some, certain stresses can feel overwhelming, whereas for others it may just be something they can manage and go on about their day.
For those who may struggle to stay within their window of tolerance due to mental health concerns such as: anxiety, history of trauma, and grief, even small triggers can result in them becoming overwhelmed and even shutting down. This is where understanding the window of tolerance can be helpful too.
