Window Of Tolerance

Want to learn more about how our bodies respond to our environment? Or maybe how your body has responded to a traumatic event? Join our masters level intern, Sarah Howell, as she walks you through a mental health concept referred to as the Window of Tolerance.

This concept can be extremely helpful in understanding why our bodies respond to stressful stimuli. It can also help act as a starting point to recognizing what it is that throws us off balance as well as coping skills we can use to get us back to our equilibrium.

This post is a video presentation by Sarah Howell. The video is embedded on the original page.

Ready when you are.

Reaching out is often the hardest part. The contact form or an email to our admin address are the quickest ways to get scheduled. We return messages Monday through Friday, and a message left over the weekend may wait until Monday. You are welcome to call as well, though booking by phone tends to take longer.
