What Therapists Have to Say

As a psychotherapist working with PTSD, I'm very pleased with the ease of using Touchpoints and have recommended them to clients and friends to promote relaxation and longer stretches of deep restful sleep. All Positive Feedback

“I work with clients with trauma reactions and PTSD. I've been using TouchPoints for my clients who receive EMDR therapy to use at home. The feedback I have received is that they help them fall asleep and they empower them to regulate their anxiety. I have used them myself for stress relief and focus. I highly recommend them.”

“TouchPoints are an amazing at-home tool to help my patients regulate their emotions when they feel triggered. While not a replacement for therapy/EMDR, it is an invaluable tool to help them manage overwhelming feelings in the moment to then address during a follow up session. I recommend them to everyone whether they are a patient or a friend.”

“I am a therapist and use these at all phases. Clients report them and report feeling calmer during history taking and the added BLS during processing. I thoroughly recomment TouchPoints and their customer service is incredible.”

Applications Across Therapies

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Wearable versatility sets TouchPoints apart. Clinicians can easily incorporate them into therapy sessions by having clients wear them as comfortable wristbands, discreetly clipped to their clothing, or held in their hands. This adaptability ensures a seamless integration into various therapeutic approaches. Learn more.
Occupational Therapy

In occupational therapy, TouchPoints can be utilized to address sensory processing challenges. BLAST has been shown to improve symptoms of certain movement disorders. The discreet design allows for unobtrusive wear, supporting clients in various daily activities.
How to Use TouchPoints During an EMDR Therapy Session

Amplify the benefits of mindfulness practices with TouchPoints. BLAST has been shown to change brain wave patterns to those seen in deep meditation. The gentle vibrations also provide a tangible point of focus, aiding clients in achieving a deeper state of relaxation and mindfulness.
Trauma Informed Care

Support trauma recovery by incorporating TouchPoints into trauma-focused therapies. Based on eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), BLAST is thought to rewire traumatic memories, decreasing their emotional impact through the establishment of widespread inhibitory cortical connections This can aid in grounding and promoting a sense of safety during sessions.

EMDR therapy is divided into 8 discrete phases. Below we will discuss specifically how TouchPoints™ can be used to assist during each phase. 
Phase 1: History Taking

Encourage clients to wear TouchPoints™ from the start to reduce stress during the recall of past events. This helps minimize cognitive and physiological distress, leading to a more efficient resolution.
Phase 2: Preparation

Use TouchPoints™ during this phase to reduce stress associated with the EMDR process, fostering a trusting therapeutic relationship and instilling confidence in calming techniques.
Phase 3: Assessment

Wear TouchPoints™ to keep physiological distress minimal, increasing the patient’s confidence in the new positive belief. 
Phase 4: Desensitization

As a wearable device, TouchPoints™ can be used outside of EMDR sessions to accelerate the desensitization process, reducing stress associated with triggers.
Phase 5-8: Installation, Body Scan, Closure, Re-Evaluation

TouchPoints™ throughout these phases to maintain continuity and reduce residual physiological distress, facilitating target resolution and potentially shortening treatment time.
