The window of tolerance refers to the ‘optimal zone’ in which a person can function effectively, feeling grounded and able to cope with stress. When outside this window, individuals may experience hyperarousal (anxiety, panic, anger) or hypoarousal (numbness, shutdown, disconnection). This tool presents the window of tolerance and offers guided prompts to help individuals identify triggers, recognize signs, and reflect on helpful coping strategies.
