Ruth is a leading expert in the treatment of trauma, and she's seen how a dysregulated trauma response can be mistaken for manic behavior that's related to bipolar disorder. When a client is struggling to manage their emotions, it could be connected to a past traumatic experience. But the client's behavior could also be connected to bipolar disorder. So, how do you tell the difference? Bipolar disorder can put the client in a manic state of mind that has a specific effect on their sleeping patterns. This is key, because trauma also impacts a person's sleep, but in a very different way. Ruth lays out the difference in these two ways, and explains what to look for in the person's experience with sleep. This knowledge can better inform your treatment strategy to allow for better outcomes when healing trauma.

When a client dissociates in session, there are many grounding techniques we can use to bring them back to the present. But what can help clients when they dissociate outside of your office – particularly when they report losing chunks of time? Ruth Lanius, MD, PhD shares a simple yet effective strategy that helps her clients reduce time loss and stay grounded throughout the day.

Ruth Lanius, MD, PhD, provides three cues that can help therapists detect shame’s presence. Then, she shares a simple question that can help clients begin to open up about feelings of shame. Working with clients who suffer from deep feelings of shame can be a delicate and nuanced process – for a few reasons . . .To start, shame can disguise itself in a number of ways. It can hide beneath anger, outrage, self-sabotage, or abusive relationships. What’s more, clients often develop a set of defenses that can make it difficult for them to talk about, or even admit to, feelings of shame. When that’s the case, here are two things that might help. First, we need to be on the lookout for signs that can clue us in to the presence of shame – even when it’s subtle. And second, we need strategies that can help clients feel comfortable talking about it. This video comes from the NICABM blog. Check it out here: www.nicabm.com/blog

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.
