Window of Tolerance

Your Window of Tolerance is basically when you’re not too overwhelmed to deal with the intense stuff coming your way.  You can see why we really want to understand and maybe even expand your window of tolerance if we’re doing EMDR therapy together.   Dr. Dan Siegel first explained that the Window of Tolerance isContinue reading “Window of Tolerance”

My business allowed me to have a phone upgrade where all I have to do is pay the taxes and activation.  They call it “free”, but it’s so not free in so many ways.  It scares the crap out of me to have this more upgraded phone.  You might be wondering why did I goContinue reading “Leaning Into Ambivalence”

Is EMDR Therapy Covered by Insurance?
