Have you ever wondered why some days you cope well… and other days everything feels too much?

You might be outside your window of tolerance.

Your window of tolerance is the zone where your nervous system can cope with life. Inside it, you’re more able to think clearly, manage emotions, and respond rather than react.

But when stress or overwhelm pushes you outside that window, you might notice:

• feeling anxious or on edge
• racing or overthinking thoughts
• snapping at people you care about
• feeling numb or disconnected
• wanting to withdraw from everything

Nothing is wrong with you. Your nervous system is trying to protect you.

Many people live between overwhelm and shutdown without realising there is another way.

Therapy can help you understand your nervous system, recognise when you’re leaving your window, and gradually widen it so life feels more manageable.

If this resonates, you’re not alone 🤍
