#SCGTHRIVE: Widen Your Window of Tolerance, Decrease Allostatic Load

Writer's picture: scglegalsocialscglegalsocial

This webinar will help you understand how your body builds what is known as ‘allostatic load’ and what you can do to reduce it. What is allostatic load? We all experience stress, and some people have higher levels of it than others. Perception of stress and how ‘wide’ our tolerance for it is determines our reaction and recovery from stressful events. Regardless of your stress, unless you fully recover afterwards, you build allostatic load and doing so results in the narrowing of your tolerance window for stress in the future. In this program you will:


  • Learn how to assess the ‘width’ of your own window of stress tolerance

  • Identify signs of ‘narrowed’ windows of those around you

  • Learn how to widen window of tolerance and decrease allostatic load
