FEARS
Fear is a powerful emotion that can paralyze and limit us from fully experiencing life. While fear can be a natural protective mechanism, it often holds us back from reaching our full potential. At times, fear can become excessive and irrational, hindering our ability to navigate challenges and pursue our goals. BLAST® can interrupt the body's fight-flight-freeze response, reducing the intensity of fear in real-time and helping you confront your fears with greater confidence and calm.
How blast® works for fears
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 overcome a fear, 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 an irrational fear.

touchpoint vibrations help bring my awareness to reset my thoughts
"I do find them helpful in situations where I’m now having heighten anxiety. Mainly going out in public when I’m enduring a heightened awareness and fear that anything can happen at anytime. The touchpoint vibrations help bring my awareness to reset my thoughts. So far it’s one of the tools I’ve been using in addition to therapy. "
