Explaining the Response Zones &
Window of Tolerance Scale
In this video, Ruth Yeo-Peterman gives a short explanation of the Window of Tolerance scale and how to use it as part of your First Aid Arts Toolkit.
It is normal for our brains and bodies to react to stress, fear, or threat by moving into survival mode or fight/flight/freeze. Practice your skills in self-awareness and self-regulation with this simple tool, and build your ability to respond with intention rather than react out of fear.
