We all have a window of tolerance, and understanding your own and your spouse’s can give you good insights into your marriage conflicts. Brace yourselves as we delve into this fascinating concept, exploring how it significantly impacts our ability to cope and our entire family dynamic. 

Have you ever wondered why we react so differently when plunged into stressful situations? In this episode, we dissect the four key emotional responses when we exit the wind of tolerance – fight, flight, freeze, and fawn – and why they are important to understand in your marriage. 

We’ll unravel how trauma can constrict our window, complicating our interactions and conversations and possibly strangulating meaningful relationships.

Finally, we equip you with practical, effective grounding techniques to keep you anchored when life tries to push you outside your window of tolerance.  Remember, no journey is without bumps and turns, staying connected with our window of tolerance can make the ride smoother and more manageable. Tune in to learn, grow, and navigate this journey with us!
