RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS
Intimate relationships can set off the fight/flight/freeze response, 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.
How blast® works for RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS
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 when stressed, overtime you may not need them in certain situations as they become less stressful because of your 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 contribute toward relationship problems.

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 levelsduring 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.

My sweet, gentle, kind husband has returned
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. He’s tried getting help through counselling and medication, but no improvement lasted long. 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. We are now three months out from the purchase. My sweet, gentle, kind husband has returned. He’s used them almost daily since then and I have no doubt that he has built new neuropathways which has helped him cope with the daily stresses that he encounters. He feels a million times better and is now equipped to deal with difficult situations with hope. I’m so grateful to Touchpoint Solution for making these available. I’m not sure my husband would have ever truly returned from his deployment had it not been for your devices. Thanks again!
