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.
