How Touch Therapy Can Benefit You?

Touch therapy allows you to control what happens and when; it breaks down touch into its component parts so that over time it becomes less frightening and ultimately enjoyable.

Touch therapy can also:

  • Empower you by helping you to feel connected to your body
  • Improve your motivation to self-care
  • Help you to build relationships
  • Increase your sense of self-esteem
  • Improve your body-image
  • Give you a greater sense of connection with others

If you’re frightened of touch, the idea of it can be terrifying. Touch aversion is a fear or dislike of being touched which can seriously affect the quality of your life.

If you're afraid of touch:

    • You might find you prefer not to touch parts of your body that trigger uncomfortable thoughts and feelings
    • You might avoid taking public transport or visiting crowded spaces
    • You may feel unable to hug your children or family
    • You may have experienced a loss of sexual pleasure and fear relationships
    • You may have a distorted view of the way you look

 

Touch therapy can help to own your body again.
