Okno tolerovatelnosti: Co to je a jak ho použít v terapii traumatu
When you feel overwhelmed, frozen, or on the edge of panic, your brain isn’t broken—it’s trying to protect you. This is where the okno tolerovatelnosti, oblast psychického pohodlí, ve které člověk může zpracovávat emoce a vzpomínky bez přehřátí nebo odpojení. Also known as okno okna regulace, it is the sweet spot between being flooded by emotions and shutting down completely. When trauma hits, this window shrinks. A loud noise, a certain smell, or even a tone of voice can slam it shut. That’s why therapy doesn’t start with digging up the past—it starts with widening this window so you can actually survive the process.
Therapists use stabilizační dovednosti, konkrétní techniky, které pomáhají udržet člověka v okně tolerovatelnosti, i když se objeví bolestivé vzpomínky. Think of them as anchors: a grounding breath, a safe place in your mind, a touch on your arm that reminds you you’re here and now. These aren’t just comfort tricks—they’re neuroscience-backed tools. Without them, EMDR or exposure therapy can backfire. You can’t process trauma if you’re already in survival mode. That’s why every post about EMDR, PTSD, or somatic therapy on this site starts with the same question: Can you stay here? Can you feel this without falling apart?
The same applies to relationships. If your vztahové problémy, opakující se konflikty, které vycházejí z nevyřešeného traumatu a ovlivňují, jak se spojujete s druhými. keep repeating the same fights, it’s not about communication—it’s about your window being too narrow. Therapy helps you expand it. You learn to notice when you’re slipping out: the tight chest, the urge to scream, the sudden numbness. And then you use your tools—your safe place, your breath, your body awareness—to come back.
You’ll find posts here that show you exactly how to build these anchors. How to create a mental treasure chest. How to use your breath as a lifeline. How to recognize when you’re too activated—or too shut down. Some posts dive into EMDR, others into body-based therapy or family patterns. But every single one circles back to the same truth: Healing doesn’t happen when you’re in free fall. It happens when you learn to stay grounded, even when the past tries to pull you under.
