What It Is
The Capacity Check is a practical clinical tool for tracking nervous system states and capacity levels throughout the day. Grounded in polyvagal theory and somatic approaches, it helps individuals and therapists identify patterns in nervous system regulation and understand what different states require.
Through intensive tracking periods (3-7 days, 6-8 check-ins per day), users capture real-time data about their capacity, energy, mental clarity, and nervous system trajectory. This reveals predictable patterns that often go unnoticed in traditional weekly therapy sessions.
The tool treats nervous system states as information rather than pathology, emphasizing state-responsive interventions and matching demands to current capacity.
