@aia_therapist: Some days everything feels like too much. Other days you can't feel much of anything. There's a name for the space in between: your window of tolerance (a term coined by psychiatrist Dr. Dan Siegel). It's the zone where you can feel what you feel and still stay present. Going above it or below it doesn't mean something is wrong with you. It's your nervous system doing its best to keep you safe. Good therapy goes slowly on purpose, so you can face the hard parts without leaving that window. Send this to someone who's been hard on themselves for "overreacting" or "shutting down." 🌿 I help adults heal from trauma and rebuild how they see themselves.
