Is anyone familiar with the SUDS (Subjective Units of Distress) scoring system in trauma treatment? I heard that in order for re-learning to occur, your SUDS level has to be somewhat raised. But if it's raised too high and you're just plain triggered, you will not learn that the situation at present is safe, you are not in danger or about to be attacked, etc.
So what is the ideal score (I understand the scale is 1 to 100) for retraining yourself to overcome triggers? If you go into a situation and wind up triggered, are there any good ways to bring your SUDS level back down to the ideal level for retraining?
(P.S. I wanted to post this in the discussion forum, but it seems to have disappeared, so if this belongs somewhere else, feel free to move it.)
