Building a trusting relationship is crucial for individuals to reconnect with their own sense of safety. When people leave therapy, they often struggle to maintain the techniques they've learned, reverting to old habits that provide temporary relief. Exploring the science behind soothing touch and its impact on the emotional brain reveals powerful tools that can help individuals carry a sense of safety and recovery beyond the therapy room.In this clip

I have a question about the episode 493: Underrated ways to reduce anxiety & boost mood | leading happiness scholar Gretchen Rubin and the clip The Power of Touch. I’m interested in the effect of massage and touch on the body, including the physical manipulation and how it can aid in recovery from both use and injury, as well as the neurological impact of touch on hormones and chemistry in the mind. I am in a massage therapist training program and am experiencing 3-5 massages per week as we practice in our cohort. I am noticing my own fatigue and the feeling of being “touched out,” while also knowing that I received significant benefits from massage after my car accident years ago. I am realizing that there is a big spectrum of experience with therapeutic touch, and I would enjoy hearing your thoughts on this topic. Thank you.
