Build Resilience by Widening Your Window
Liz introduces the window of tolerance to stress arousal—and how having a wide window can help individuals function effectively during stressful and challenging events, as well as recover completely afterwards. We explore the three pathways for narrowing the window—and some of the effects of having a narrowed window. Liz also introduces the two key leverage points for widening our window and building our resilience. Finally, we discuss stress and emotion contagion, when and why it happens—and what we can do to help protect ourselves from it.
