ENCYCLOPEDIA OF USES
BREAKING BAD HABITS
It can be challenging to break bad habits like procrastination, nail-biting, smoking, excessive drinking, overeating, negative self-talk, or even using electronics before bed; these are just some examples!Bad habits often form as a way to cope with stress. While they may provide temporary relief, they often come with more long term negative consequences. Use BLAST® as a supportive tool for stress relief and help with breaking bad habits.
BLAST® Intervenes
TouchPoint Solution’s wearable devices are embedded with patented BLAST® (bi-lateral alternating stimulation tactile) technology.BLAST® is scientifically proven to alter the body’s “fight or flight” response caused by stress.The wearables emit alternating vibrations that disengage your standard stress response (sympathetic nervous system), and shift you into the calm, logical side of your brain (parasympathetic nervous system).
Change Occurs
When using BLAST® consistently to manage aggressive behavior, overtime you may not need them in certain situations as they become less stressful because of BLAST®. One of the ways BLAST® works is by creating new neural pathways that help modify the memories that trigger our stress response. With continued use of BLAST®, these new neural pathways can build overtime, progressively reducing the release of stress related hormones that can cause aggressive behavior.
Measurable Impact
Excess levels of cortisol may be released as your body’s response to stress that may result in agitation and irritability. A triple blind placebo-controlled trial with athletes showed TouchPoints™ stabilized cortisol levels during stressful events and reduced the level of stress. (Leal-Junior, E. C., Casalechi, H. L., Machado, C. dos, Serin, A., Hageman, N. S., & Johnson, D. S., 2019) View our full Stress Study.
“I purchased the TouchPoints for myself and then to circulate among my clients. I am a Mental Health Therapist and I have many clients experiencing anxiety on a daily basis. My clients have raved about these TouchPoints and are considering purchasing their own. From getting a good night’s sleep to managing stressful work environments, I have received nothing but positive feedback. Thank you soooo much for these and the wonderful customer service!”
