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.
How will this worksheet help you?
This worksheet will help you identify activities, situations, and things that come under and outside your window of tolerance. You can figure out what situations make you hyper and hypo arousal and what strategies you can apply to overcome them. So whenever you feel you are under stress, you can just simply apply those strategies to relax yourself.
