Emotional Capacity
A concept I find helpful in clinical work is emotional capacity.
Many clients interpret overwhelm as personal failure when it is often a capacity issue rather than a character issue.
When stress accumulates, the nervous system has less bandwidth for problem solving, regulation, and decision-making.
Helping clients recognize this shift can reduce shame and open the door to more compassionate pacing.
Curious how others are conceptualizing capacity limits with clients.
