ENCYCLOPEDIA OF USES
LASHING OUT AT OTHERS
Lashing out at others can be an unhealthy way for the body to release the excess energy and tension built up during thefight-or-flight response, having negative consequences on relationships and personal well-being. BLAST® can help prevent lashing out and impulsive decisions, or if it’s too late, restore calm fast and recover.
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.
“A former teacher purchased a set of TouchPoints for Luciano to use during the school day and with their use, he has made drastic improvements in the classroom. He is learning how to use them appropriately, how to know when he should turn them on and off, etc. It's still a work in progress, but he is less apt to emotional breakdowns, has less outbursts towards his peers, and academically he is catching up as his behaviors in the past kept him from performing and learning at his true ability.”
