Image of a vibrant, multi-layered rainbow that has clouds on each end, one light grey and the other dark grey. The background of the image is two-toned: light blue on the left side and dark blue on the right side. Beneath the rainbow is written, "Window of Tolerance and Addictive Behavior." The rainbow has text written in various spots, showing where on the rainbow a person may fall in their window of tolerance. The top/center of the rainbow is labeled, "Able to cope, grow, listen, and learn." On the left side of the rainbow, the labels continue down the curve: "Feeling great!" "Maybe 'too' good." "Overwhelmed by the positive emotion." "Feelings of doubt or unworthiness *or* overconfidence." The last label sits right above the grey cloud at the bottom and reads, "Relapse." On the right side of the rainbow, the labels continue down the curve: "This is mildly uncomfortable." "Ok, this feeling really sucks." "Overwhelmed coping skills." "Feeling out of control." The last label sits right above the grey cloud at the bottom and reads, "Relapse." Image created by Lindsay Braman.

Therapy Is Hard

Most of us know one or two help rejecting complainers. It can be really tempting to get frustrated, give up, or get "even," but when we react out of frustration instead of responding with kindness, we actually reinforce the beliefs that support the behavior. . . . Complaining is the only type of support-seeking some people know. Complaining engages others because we 1. Empathize, recalling similar struggles of our own, and 2. Get excited about sharing tools and resources that worked for us. But the help rejecting complainer typically isn't able to put solutions into action- perhaps because solving the problem would result in having to scramble to find a new problem to access the support they need, or because hope that a situation could change can actually be a really, really painful thing to engage. . . . Set boundaries, share your reaction in a kind/non-judgemental/authentic way, and encourage professional support if appropriate. . . . . .
