Practice pick of the month: The Window of Tolerance: Finding Your Zone of Healing

Build on your mindfulness practice from last month- and if you missed it, keep scrolling! 

Ever feel like you’re either on edge or completely checked out? That’s your nervous system telling you you’re outside your Window of Tolerance—the zone where you feel most calm, clear, and in control. When you’re in your window, you can think clearly, connect with others, and handle stress without feeling overwhelmed or shut down.

At Better Communities Counseling, we believe healing starts with understanding your body’s cues. This month, we’re exploring how to find and expand your window through simple, everyday practices. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, burnout, or trauma, learning your window is an empowering step toward greater emotional balance and self-trust.

This isn’t about “fixing” yourself—it’s about finding your rhythm. Let’s build awareness, not judgment, and gently guide ourselves back to center.
