An Exercise for Working with Hypoarousal 

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.
