Community Routes: Anxiety in Adults

This week we cover anxiety in adults when we feel outside our window of tolerance and hyperaroused. We talk about what anxiety can do for us, how to pay attention to our feelings to know what we need, and what it looks like to regulate the excess energy. We also welcome Sarah Wakefield to our Community Routes Team!

Community Routes: Trauma and the Window of Tolerance

Samuel, Julie, and Lisa talk trauma and its effects on the brain and behavior. Julie expands on the polyvagal theory and the gang discusses our Window of Tolerance, as well as our "blue" and "red" responses.
