You can only reduce arousal on a sensory level, not a cognitive level
So will talking about it help?
Will telling the person they are safe help?
Maybe, a little bit… but it is in what we do to make people feel safe, feel better, on a sensory level that helps reduce arousal.
ACTIVITY: WHAT ARE SOME ACTIVITIES YOU ALREADY USE TO HELP KIDS LOWER AROUSAL?

EMOTIONAL REGULATION
Fighting, Substance Abuse, Aggression,
Eating Disorders, Compulsions…
If a person can
discriminate
between his or
her emotions, he
or she would be
more likely to
notice specific
body sensations
that are
connected to
emotions and
not misinterpret
them (Hill, 2012)
When individuals
with PTSD
improve their
ability to
emotionally
regulate they will
experience less
PTSD related
symptom logy
that leads to
unproductive
behavior
responses:
How are you feeling today?
