ENCYCLOPEDIA OF USES
RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS
Intimate relationships can set off thefight/flight/freezeresponse, preventing productive conversations and problem-solving. This response, triggered by emotional intensity, often leads to heightened tension and defensiveness. One or both partners can wear BLAST® to stay calm during difficult talks.
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.
Thank you for giving me my wonderful husband back! He was deployed 9 years ago and returned a very different man. Angry. Impatient. Depressed. Argumentative. Trouble sleeping. Diagnosed with PTSD. He’s gone through short periods when is has improved, but it has been a roller coaster ride. Enter Touchpoints. He was skeptical and worried that I had wasted our money purchasing them. I convinced him to try the sleep setting and the first night he slept better than he had in years! He then was motivated to try them while working at home. The Touchpoints helped him stay calm & focus when he’d struggled to do so consistently before.
