After weeks of a coordinated shock and awe campaign by the federal government, many of us feel *very* outside our Window of Tolerance. But what does that even mean? What is our Window of Tolerance? Here I explain it.

Thank you to all the Federal workers, this week, that have been obstinately protective of democracy, intentionally obstructive towards these goons and found ways to turn bureaucratic inefficiency into an effective tool for rebellion against evil. ❤️

I have so much empathy for all of the government workers I know. Speaking to friends that are in different arms of the Feds this week, I hear terror, despondence, anxiety, anger and *resistance* in their voices. ❤️

By growing our capacity, we build resilience, adaptability, and the ability to stay present, engaged, and connected to each other, even in the face of chaos.

A well-developed nervous system allows us to experience intensity—whether fear, uncertainty, or challenge—without shutting down or becoming stuck in survival states.

When it comes to somatic therapy, it’s all about capacity, not constant calm. In distressing and turbulent times, like we are living though, unpredictability and stress are unavoidable, so the goal is to expand nervous system capacity rather than force constant regulation.

You may just be cutting yourself off from your own brilliance if you’re not directly engaging with your anger, while paradoxically allowing anger to run your life in unseen ways.

You’d be amazed at how much clarity and wisdom can come in after you’ve allowed your body and emotions some processing time and space.

Once the initial flooding of anger is somatically processed you can actually figure how you want to use your anger, *constructively and consciously*.
100
RITA @roseritajames.bsky.social · 02/02/2025
it’s important to know the goal is not to neutralize your anger so that you’re numb and disaffected but to discharge enough of the initial charge that you’re no longer hijacked, overwhelmed or shutdown by it or leaking it all over the place because you’ve chosen avoidance of it.
