A real thorough description of attaining “peace” - and therapists are here to strengthen the sense of self, supply the tools, support the growth and sustain the challenges in the process of shifting from habits of engaging “drama” to habits of relaxing into “peace;” and becoming the person who no longer gets drawn into one’s own or others’ “storms,” but rather being the one who can draw oneself or others into the “calm.”

I teach about Window of Tolerance early in the therapeutic relationship, because it lays the foundation for why and how to absorb most other tools for mental health. It’s the skeleton of where our instincts and mindfulness intersect and part of the key to reaching higher levels of control over your mind’s resilience.

The idea of a 'window of tolerance' can help explain your or someone else's behavior.
