Summary
This video explains the concept of the 'window of tolerance' in therapy, differentiating between hyper-arousal (panic, anger) and hypo-arousal (numbness, exhaustion). The speaker, a licensed therapist, encourages viewers to identify their current state and suggests taking a deep breath to potentially widen their window of tolerance.
