The window of tolerance is the zone of arousal in which you can feel emotions and still function — think clearly, connect, choose. Above the window you are hyperaroused (anxious, flooded, reactive); below it, hypoaroused (numb, shut down, foggy). Stress, poor recovery and overload narrow the window; regulation practice widens it.
A narrow window is why the same event can wreck you on Tuesday and barely register on Saturday — it is not the event, it is how much room your system had that day. The daily work is less about avoiding triggers and more about keeping the window wide.
