The optimal zone of nervous system arousal in which a person can effectively process emotions and function in daily life without becoming overwhelmed or shut down.
From 'window' + 'tolerance.' Concept by Daniel Siegel. The window within which one can tolerate emotional stimulation.
Your window of tolerance is the zone where you can handle life's ups and downs — too much arousal and you panic, too little and you go numb. Therapy helps widen this window!
