Ep 9: Why Is My Window of Tolerance Narrow (Experience Dysregulation) And How Can I Help Myself?

Cath Counihan

Aug 08, 2022

Episode 9 is a continuation of the psycho education from episode 8.

Everyone needs to know about their windows of tolerance and get to know their own nervous systems. This episode explains more about how we can be emotionally present with our kids, why we may have a narrow window of tolerance, how it is absolutely possible to widen our window of tolerance, including more about how we can actually do this. Cath refers to the work of Dr Bruce Perry in this episode.

Discussion about this podcast

Grow Yourself Up

Grow Yourself Up is a podcast to support all of us in our adult lives.

Many of us did not get our needs adequately met in childhood. The devastating legacy of trauma, wounding and traumatic stress lives on in our brains, our bodies, our nervous systems and our behaviour/reactions. Which in turn impacts the way we turn up to our lives in many ways.

We are going to unpack all of this on Grow Yourself Up. This podcast will be a companion as you travel on your own road of healing and recovery. You will learn you are not alone.

Someone has been where you are.

There is hope.

We will break down shame together and learn to cultivate self compassion.

There is always the possibility for change.

And regardless of what has happened in our past, as adults we have to take responsibility for our own lives. We have to tend to our pain, our sadness and our dysfunction so that we can live a life we love and shift toxic patterns for our children.
