EMDR addresses this as well. We need to help patients hold the trauma without going further than they can and dissociating / looping etc.
Thank you for making these points. Adversity is going to exist. I think it’s important to accept that, and also find strength in knowing that our nervous systems have great capacity to cope with it and shift back out of those states.
Excellent presentation weaving different viewpoints with ample credit given to others. Appreciated the personal stories and references. Big shout-out for addressing “safetyism” and its pitfalls. The practice at the end was very integrating and powerful, showing the value of your very thoughtful work. Thank you for this experience.
Window of Tolerance as an organic process, not a static state to attain.
An inspiring conversation about polarities and staying present without loosing oneself, so needed at home and in the collective. A beautiful fist practice, to bring to my yoga students grounding them in themselves. Thank you fellow Canadian!
Brilliant! Your explanations, examples, way of presenting has given me insights into personal growth, and professional growth.
What a powerful conversation – thank you both!
Good stuff. Especially the complexity of allowing the difficult emotions experience on the edges of the Window of Tolerance
Is Enlightenment an infinite window of tolerance? Great talk.
great points that helped me understand the window of tolerance and the expansion of it better … Thank you both!
Another great talk. Aside from the great insights into widening the window of tolerance in therapy, I, as an educator, particularly appreciated these thoughts on the culture shift towards ‘safetysim’ and away from complexity tolerance in education. It has visible results in students’ abilities to make meaning and to feel competent.
Clarissa Cigrand is a wonderful host.
I enjoyed this interview with David.
