Two versions of a Window of Tolerance worksheet designed for use in session and between sessions — one for adults, one for youth.
Both versions include an educational page (the three zones explained with body sensations and thought/feeling examples) and a personal map page (fillable sections for each zone plus a coping skills grid for getting back to the window).
The adult version uses clinical language (hyperarousal, hypoarousal) in a clean, structured layout designed to feel like a serious clinical tool. The youth version uses accessible language (Too Much / Flooded — Just Right — Too Little / Frozen) with illustrated body figures and a traffic light visual anchor.
Both versions go further than most WoT worksheets — the personal map doesn't just ask clients to identify their zones, it asks what they tend to do, what their thoughts sound like, and specifically what helps them come back to the window from each direction.
Best for: EMDR-trained clinicians to use during Phase 2 resourcing and stabilization work. Also useful in DBT, somatic, and trauma-informed practice more broadly.
Includes:
Adult version: 2-page PDF (educational + personal map)
Youth version: 2-page PDF (educational + personal map)
Both print-ready
