The window of tolerance is a concept originally developed by Dr. Dan Siegel in 1999.
It is used to help explain how the brain and the nervous system react to stress. We use this in EMDR therapy to teach clients how to self-regulate and manage big emotions.
For clients who have experienced trauma, it is often difficult to regulate emotions and the zone of arousal where they can function effectively becomes quite narrow. These worksheets will help individuals who have become dysregulated use techniques to return to their window of tolerance. These worksheets help individuals identify their trauma triggers and develop a strategy to cope and function in their optimal zone of “arousal” in everyday life.

When a person is operating within this zone or window, they can effectively manage and cope with their emotions. Arousal is a word used to indicate your level of sensitivity. When you’re ‘inside’ your Window, your sensitivity (arousal) is regulated. If you’re above your window, you’re hyperaroused, and if you’re below it, your hypoaroused.In either of these states, people find it hard to process the world around them effectively.
