There’s always something, isn’t there?
 
Something I’ve had to come to terms with over the years (and continue to come to terms with) is that life is never free of stressors or situations we wish would change, no matter how small they might seem in the grand scheme of things. Of course, the Lord works and changes hearts, minds, and situations for the better. And sure, there are ways we can change and implement practices and strategies to improve ourselves and our situations. But pain to some degree always remains. Sometimes this pain is protective and serves a purpose, sometimes it’s just pain.
 
In the blog post this week, I’m writing about the window of tolerance we all have – the degree to which we can tolerate and move through the pain, where we don’t have to “white knuckle,” control to “fix,” or avoid it to survive it.

Have you ever heard the term “window of tolerance” and wondered what it meant? Does everyone have a window of tolerance or only those who’ve experienced trauma? What are some ways we can come back to our window of tolerance when we find ourselves outside of it? I’m answering these questions and diving into a personal example of one of my own phobias on the blog today!

Letting ourselves feel our difficult emotions doesn’t make them go away. It doesn’t necessarily make them “easier” to feel. It does tell our brains that it’s not dangerous or shameful to feel.

I’ve heard a lot of clients over the years tell me they’re afraid to let themselves feel what they’re really feeling. They’re afraid that if they let themselves feel, they’ll drown in their emotions and not find a way out. I’m addressing this fear in my blog post today.

I struggle knowing what to say. The world seems dark and scary right now. Its hard to reconcile the violence, oppression, and injustice with the giggles of my kids playing hide and seek, with the stories I hear of kind people shoveling their neighbors’ sidewalks, with my devotional guide leading me through Scripture about God’s peace. And yet, in this broken world, I know that darkness and light both exist. And the glimmers of light give me hope to carry on through the darkness.

If you’re afraid, if you’re discouraged, you’re not alone. I’m right there with you. We can believe in God’s goodness and sovereignty and still cry out to Him in our pain, fear, and confusion. 🌱

While I’m not big on New Year’s resolutions, I like the idea of thinking about intentions, and what I would like to be more mindful of this year. A lot of times, the things I want to be more intentional about look a lot like the topics I discuss with a lot of clients. This month, I’m sharing some intentions/resolutions I’m hoping to practice in 2026 alongside my clients. Happy New Year! 🌱

I know I’ve wrestled with this in my own experience. I start to feel the first pings of anxiety, and Philippians 4:6 comes to mind: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” In the past, I’ve easily misinterpreted this verse as, “Give whatever is making me anxious or sad to God and then don’t think about it anymore,” sometimes even going so far as to judging myself for continuing to think about it, like I must be sinning for still feeling anxious or sad after I’ve prayed. But praying to God is not the same as giving myself a lobotomy. In fact, I don’t think God expects us to just forget our difficult feelings upon praying about them. I think, if anything, He invites us to feel them, to acknowledge them before Him, and then to watch Him work. Maybe this means answering our prayer for a spouse. Maybe it means making His presence profoundly felt in difficult moments. Maybe it even means no immediate response, and us crying out to God in anger and frustration (been there). Allowing ourselves to experience our pain is painful and hard. However, if we don’t acknowledge and feel our pain, it will be difficult to acknowledge and feel the comfort and presence that God alone can provide. 🌱
