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.

This is an image of a flowchart titled “Anxiety - Choose Your Own Adventure.” The flowchart is hand-drawn and has a yellow background. The flowchart has multiple decision points and paths, with each decision point represented by a speech bubble. The flowchart starts with a white box that has a yellow striped border and reads, “Start Here.” This is pointing to a box that says, “Uh-Oh! Anxiety Increases.” If you ignore the increase, you can choose to ignore by disassociating or neglecting it, but you’ll end up at the same point: “You’re still anxious but have secondary problems,” and you’ll be sent back to the start. If you decide to pay attention to the increased anxiety, you get to a flowchart point that says, “Good call! How?” If you choose to be mean instead of kind, you may have a shame spiral or self-contempt, making you feel worse and spending you back to the start. If you choose to be kind, you can choose to seek care and connection/movement/journaling, and it may help lead to self-care, or you can choose self-care directly. Will it be with others or solo? If solo, you can pet a dog, garden, or make art. If you do it with someone, you can talk, move together, or hug. Either way, your anxiety may improve! The flowchart is credited to @lindsaybraman.
