In the face of a traumatic experience, some clients become unable to move. This can sometimes indicate that a client is experiencing either a freeze response or a shutdown response to trauma.

And according to Ruth Lanius, MD, PhD, there are key neurological differences that can help us distinguish between the two . . .

. . . so that we can better target our interventions to help patients find relief.

In this video, Ruth gets into the neurobiology of both freeze and shutdown – and walks us through her approach with each.
