What it covers: The window of tolerance — psychiatrist Dr. Dan Siegel’s concept of the nervous system’s optimal zone of arousal where a person can feel, think, and connect effectively. Signs of hyperarousal (racing thoughts, panic, anger) vs hypoarousal (numbness, shutdown, disconnection), plus practical techniques to widen the window and return to it.
