Have you ever felt panicked or overwhelmed by your emotions in the moment, and totally unable to calm down?

Or maybe your tendency is to exert SO MUCH control over your emotions, that when they do arise, it feels like you’re at war with yourself?

Maybe you wind up rejecting the source of the emotional stimulation (i.e. a lover), because it feels too dangerous to explore it any further.

But then you are left feeling lonely and regretful, like you might’ve made a mistake and thrown out the baby with the bath water.

As a result, you might find yourself wondering how to better control your in-the-moment responses, so you can have a cooler head when emotionally tough situations arise, or show up with more emotional honesty, when your partner is asking for deeper intimacy with you.

Welp. You are not alone in this.

In my online Facebook group of over 15k members, individuals often share posts and comments expressing those very same thoughts, feelings and experiences.

For example, recently a member posted the question…

“Sometimes my feelings shut down when my partner gets close, and I know it's because I am feeling anxious and threatened. How can I widen my ‘window of tolerance’ so I am not so pushed around by my attachment triggers?”

If you can relate to this, this 14-minute video is for you.

In it, I  explain …

The definition of your “window of tolerance” and how it relates to trauma-informed approaches to healing.
A demo for how to map your triggered responses through Polyvagal Theory.

But the most important point I make, relates to how growth happens at the EDGE of your comfort zone, not in the middle of it, and not outside of it.

This point is so important because it will really help you to forgive yourself for not being “healed enough” already, and to recognize that increasing your tolerance for triggering people, places, and things is a process that takes time, mindfulness, and gentle courage.

So, you don’t want to miss this!
