Transforming Touch
‘Transforming Touch is a “Trauma-Informed” modality. The modality is based on the idea that when there are ruptures during early platform development, they continue to disrupt a person`s life. Transforming Touch incorporates presence, regulation, and relationship to repair these ruptures.
Transformimg Touch creates a Safe Haven where the client can begin to experience a sense of trust between themselves and the therapist. Even though these changes may be subtle, they hold powerful consequences for our client.
.
Transforming Touch allows for a series of ruptures and repairs. This creates the opportunity to redesign those earlier platforms.
.
Transforming Touch supports the importance of presence and relationship. John Bowlby`s work showed us the importance of the Secure Base while growing and healing. This relationship supports the client`s transition from insecure attachment to earned secure attachment. This transition opens the way for the client to show increased vulnerability which increases the potential for healing..

Transforming Touch reflects the understandings of Developmental Trauma and relies on studies such as Adverse Childhood Experience Study. This study shows the importance of intervention in someone`s life who was exposed to Developmental Trauma. Intervention can and will prevent a lifetime of disease'.
