This video was taken of a live impala whose body enters a state of dorsal vagal shutdown, or the "freeze" response. In this state, the body goes cold and limp, which is meant to confuse predators to think that they've already been dead and "bad meat." Once the jaguar loses interest and runs off, an even more interesting event occurs. The impala's body begins to convulse to "shake" the trauma out of its physical body. In doing so, this allows the impala to move out of its state of dorsal vagal shutdown, and back into a ventral vagal state of homeostasis. Once in that state, the impala is able to reconnect to its nature of being a wild animal, is no longer traumatized, and runs off. How do we, as humans, use this same tool to heal from trauma and not take it with us? One method is to process the emotions as we experience traumatic events. One other method, once trauma has been stored in the body, is BREATHWORK.

A general introduction to what happens in the brain after children face traumatic experiences in childhood, like abuse and neglect. This animation was developed by Professor Eamon McCrory and is a part of the Childhood Trauma and the Brain resource. Learn more about the science and how to apply it to practice on the UK Trauma Council website: https://uktraumacouncil.org/resources/childhood-trauma-and-the-brain Eamon McCrory is Professor of Developmental Neuroscience and Psychopathology at UCL, Co-Director of the Developmental Risk and Resilience Unit and Co-Director of the UK Trauma Council. He is also Director of Education and Training at the Anna Freud Centre in London. His research uses brain imaging and psychological approaches to investigate the impact of childhood maltreatment on emotional development and mental health. The long-term aim of his work is to understand how and why mental health problems can unfold following early adversity, and how we might intervene to promote more resilient outcomes for children. About the UK Trauma Council: The UK Trauma Council (UKTC) is a group of leading experts, drawn from a variety of disciples across all four nations of the United Kingdom (UK). We are the first UK-wide platform bringing together expertise in research, practice, policy and lived experience in the field of childhood trauma.
