What is the theory behind the Window of Tolerance Worksheet?
The concept of window of tolerance is given by Dr. Dan Siegel, according to him, is that zone where a person can deal with day-to-day effectively and respond appropriately to the demands of the environment. However, some things are out of your window of tolerance and make you hyper-aroused or hypo-aroused. We need to identify things and situations that make us feel that way and how we can overcome them.
