Experiencing trauma can affect our tolerance for internal and external life stress and other stimuli. We may experience triggering memories switched on at seemingly random times by smells, sights, sounds, touch, spacial awareness, which transport our consciousness away from the present day, and into a time and place, when we were overwhelmed and affected by an original trauma. When we are triggered, our bodies react, as if we were experiencing our past, in the present moment. Our window of Tolerance can greatly influence how we may react to the stimuli when triggered. When we are within a regulated state of tolerance, our heart rate is steady, our breathing calm and we may feel a sense of personal safety. As indicated by the NICABM chart, we can see that trauma minimizes the size of the Tolerance Window. We may feel an intense experience of being out of our comfort zone or being un-ground or off center. Sometimes we may try so desperately to scramble back to our window of tolerance
