A human touch is vital for growth and development. While food may be a necessary source for survival, TOUCH is what sustains us. Research has linked poor health outcomes with touch deprivation. Increased anxiety, depression and stress has been found to be directly correlated with decreased touch. Touch also been found to calm the nervous system and slows down the heartbeat. Additionally, human touch lowers blood pressure as well as cortisol (stress hormone). Touch stimulates the release of oxytocin, a hormone known for promoting emotional bonding to others. In ISTP, we use to TOUCH to attune to our clients to foster trust and safety in a therapeutic relationship. We offer touch as a reparative process to that which was ruptured during a traumatic experience. In ISTP we offer touch with intention, sensitivity, and HEART. ™
