Module One: 5 Sessions
Embodied DBT Training 1
with Dr Eboni Webb
Define and Learn the Biphasic Arousal Model from the Therapeutic Lens of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and Neurobiology
SESSION 2 OF 5
Duration 15mins 02secs
In this session, Dr Eboni Webb investigates the biphasic arousal model from the therapeutic lens of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and neurobiology. Dr. Webb explains that biphasic arousal involves oscillating between hyperarousal (high stimulation and excitability) and hypoarousal (diminished response and disengagement). This response is different from bipolar disorder, as it is reactive to trauma cues rather than chemically driven.
Dr. Webb emphasises the importance of broadening clients’ window of tolerance—the capacity to remain regulated despite emotional and environmental triggers. She discusses how trauma can lead to survival defences such as fight, flight, freeze, and attachment cries in hyperarousal, while hypoarousal may manifest as submission or a “playing possum” response.
Dr Webb highlights the need for clinicians to understand clients’ behaviors, the triggers that lead to these arousal states, and the importance of integrating this knowledge into therapy to facilitate healing.
