Episode 51: The Window of Tolerance
What does it really mean to feel “regulated”? In this episode, EG breaks down the window of tolerance: the nervous system’s range where you feel safe, grounded, and able to connect. Through a trauma-informed lens, she breaks down what the window of tolerance actually is, why it is so monumental for healing from trauma, and how to employ practical grounding tools when you need to find balance.
This episode is for anyone navigating trauma, PTSD, or emotional overwhelm — and for loved ones who want to better support survivors.
