Social Issues (Teens)
Social problems can be a huge source of stress for teens, often triggering the fight, flight, or freeze response. BLAST® can help when thinking about the situation, during interactions with peers, or after a social problem happens, providing a calming influence to better manage these stress reactions.
How blast® works for social issues (teens)
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 faced with social situations, 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 stress while socializing.
