Window of Tolerance

Season 4- Episode 29

In this episode Lauren re-visits her framework for helping kids recognize emotional dysregulation. Emotions are abstract and recognizing the spectrum of emotions can be hard, especially for kiddos who have so many stimuli that can knock them out of their window of tolerance.

After walking through the key steps of using the framework to recognize that you're dysregulated, Lauren explains how to visualize the window of tolerance and how use it to identify when you're dysregulated.

If you haven't already, check out Five Ives to see how strategies like this can be applied to adults, especially in the workplace. Five Ives works with staff in high burnout jobs to help them incorporate regulation strategies into their daily routines.

Try-at-home tip:  Aromatherapy - not just essential oils!
