An Exercise for Working with Hypoarousal
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 сер 2024
- There are times when a client may get triggered and overwhelmed in the middle of difficult trauma work.
For some clients this can look like anger, irritability, a rapid heart rate, and other signs of hyperarousal.
But for other clients, you might see them become less and less responsive as their arousal drops. And this unresponsiveness can limit the types of approaches we might normally take with a client.
So in the video below, Eboni Webb, PsyD shares some insights about how she works with hyperarousal.
She’ll tell us how she keeps herself regulated when a client is hypoaroused, and then walk us through a sensation exercise that can help clients come back into their window of tolerance.

Clinicians really need to be better trained. Telling a client to, "get over it", doesn't help. Great video. Please send this to every single therapist on the planet. It's more than drugs that we need, and it certainly isn't being derogatory to those of us who can't get it together. Don't shame us, we can't help what we are experiencing.
I agree. I hope therapists learn from this video.
Most therapists can’t recognize their own triggers. If you’re ever blamed as the client, don’t buy it.
No therapist on earth says "get over it"
@@chriscraft1607 interesting…..
Thank you for sharing your experience. If a therapist is saying something like that to you, they do not have adequate training to work with trauma. I am a therapist and I cannot imagine any therapist I know saying that to anyone. I know there are people who do not need to be in the profession. There are also lots of good trauma informed therapists. Look for someone who has some certification or working on certification in trauma. Not all therapists are created equal and not every therapist knows how to work with trauma. NICAMB offers training, the Somatic Experiencing International offers training, and a host of others.
helpful its because we are stuck in the freeze terror state we need safety and connection and attachment and belonging xxx
How do I get out of the frozen terror state
For me getting bodywork starts the reintegration.
I had a session with a counselor who put me into a hyper aroused state and could not get me out from it. I’m looking for a therapist who can help.
What do you experience?
