So many people have been asking for more about the We Al-li Window of Choice, so I wanted to share a little more of the thinking that sits underneath the diagram.

The Window of Tolerance (from Western neuroscience) talks about a narrow band where the nervous system can function. It’s helpful but it mostly centres survival, individual regulation and pathology.

The Window of Choice shifts the story.

It moves us:
from tolerance → to agency
from symptom management → to relational presence
from individual nervous systems → to people-in-relationship-with-Country
from staying within limits → to moving with awareness

Choice here isn’t just thinking.
It’s embodied, cultural, relational choice held by ancestors, community, and land.

Inside the Window of Choice, we can:
– feel without being overtaken
– sense our bodies without disappearing
– respond instead of react
– stay in relationship with self, others, and Country
– access memory, humour, story, creativity, ceremony

And this window isn’t fixed.
It widens and narrows depending on cultural safety, collective presence, connection to Country, rhythm, ritual and relationship.

We also name what Western models often miss - Feign / Fawn.
Not weakness. Not failure.
But appeasement as protection.

Feign/Fawn tells a story of relational danger where survival depended on staying connected at any cost. Healing doesn’t shame this response. It thanks it… then gently creates the conditions for choice to return.

In the We Al-li lens:
Too much activation → Country calls for grounding.
Low activation (freeze, shutdown, feign/fawn) → Spirit calls for safety and reconnection.

And most importantly…

Choice is collective, not individual.
It is held in yarning circles, shared rhythm, cultural authority, being witnessed without fixing, ceremony and time.

So instead of asking,
“Am I regulated?”
we ask,
“Am I connected enough to choose?”

Because tolerating pain is about endurance.
Choosing is about sovereignty.

This is the heart of the Window of Choice.

Always shared with respect, care and deep gratitude to the old knowledges that continue to guide us.

💛
Carlie
We Al-li

We often think New Year’s resolutions are about “fixing” ourselves—being more disciplined, more motivated, more perfect. But real growth doesn’t come from pressure or perfection…it comes from compassion.

Resolutions are really about checking in with yourself, noticing what you need, and choosing actions that support your values. They’re about small, consistent steps rather than giant, exhausting leaps. They’re about listening to your feelings, celebrating progress (not just outcomes), and being kind to yourself when things don’t go to plan.

So this year, let your resolutions be less about who you should be and more about caring for who you already are. 🌿✨

With the end of the year around the corner, this can bring up all kinds of feelings including pressure, memories, gratitude, stress, and everything in between. All of these feelings are valid and you’re allowed to hold more than one truth at a time.

If you’re reflecting on your year, try meeting yourself with compassion. You don’t need big resolutions or reinventions – give yourself a moment to notice what changed for you, what got a little easier, and what you might be ready to let go of. 🧘‍♀️💭
