ENCYCLOPEDIA OF USES

NEGOTIATIONS

Negotiations often involve high-stakes decisions, conflicting interests, and the pressure to secure favorable outcomes. The inherent uncertainty and potential consequences ofnegotiations can trigger stress responses. Stress can significantly hinder effective negotiation by impairing one's ability to think clearly, leading to poor decision-making and a reduced capacity to understand and empathize with the other party's perspective. It can also escalate conflicts, making it harder to find mutually beneficial solutions and increasing the likelihood of impulsive, disadvantageous agreements. If negotiations have you stressed, use BLAST® to stay calm and thoughtful during the process.   

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.
