FAQ:
Are TouchPoints safe for all ages?
How do TouchPoints help reduce my stress?
When you're stressed, the 'fight or flight' part of your brain engages. TouchPoints shift you into the logical, rational part of your brain and allow you to think clearly and experience calm all within seconds. Having the ability to think rationally without an associated body sensation helps the brain create new neural pathways that are net positive, and this has a lasting effect on your brain. See How TouchPoints Work for more information.
