TouchPoints deliver gentle, alternating vibrations to both sides of the body, shifting the brain from the sympathetic "fight or flight" state to the parasympathetic "calm and logical" state. The result: reduced physiological arousal, improved emotional regulation, and faster access to cognitive processing — all without requiring the client to stop what they're doing.

From trauma processing to between-session support, TouchPoints integrate naturally into a range of therapeutic modalities.
EMDR Facilitation
Enhance EMDR sessions by reducing physiological arousal and cognitive distress, allowing clients to process difficult emotions more effectively. Can be used as a complement to eye movements or tapping across all 8 phases.
Grounding During Activation
When clients become too activated to continue processing, TouchPoints help bring them back to a window of tolerance quickly — without breaking the therapeutic flow or requiring a structured intervention.
Between-Session Support
Clients use TouchPoints independently to manage anxiety and stress between appointments — reinforcing the emotional regulation skills developed in session and reducing crisis calls.
CBT, OT & Trauma-Informed Care
The wearable format integrates naturally into CBT, occupational therapy, somatic work, and trauma-informed care — worn on wrists, clipped to clothing, or held in-hand without disrupting the session.
Sleep & Recovery
Clinicians frequently recommend TouchPoints to clients struggling with sleep disturbances related to anxiety, PTSD, or chronic stress. The bilateral stimulation helps shift the nervous system into a calmer state, supporting faster sleep onset and more restful nights.
Somatic & Mindfulness Work
BLAST technology has been shown to shift brain wave patterns toward those seen in deep meditation. For therapists incorporating somatic experiencing, body-based interventions, or mindfulness practices, TouchPoints provide a tangible point of focus that deepens the therapeutic effect.
Therapists who use TouchPoints
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.”
Applied BLAST Evidence from Quantitative Electroencephalogram
This study used quantitative electroencephalograms to measure the impact of TouchPoints on stress. The results showed a significant decrease in excess beta waves (stress) after using TouchPoints.
Effect of Bilateral Alternating Somatosensory Stimulation on Reducing Stress-Related Cortisol
This triple blind placebo-controlled trial with athletes showed TouchPoints stabilized cortisol levels during stressful events and reduced the level of stress points even when cortisol traditionally spikes.
Impact of TouchPoints on Stress Reduction
Analysis from 140 TouchPoints users’ data showed that within 30 seconds of using TouchPoints, people experienced a 74% reduction in stress levels and 68% reduction in body sensations related to stress.
