TRANSFORMING TOUCH

Transforming Touch® (formerly Transforming the Experience-Based Brain or TEB) is a "Trauma-Informed" modality that implements Regulation-Focused Approach to the repair and healing of Developmental Trauma.  The modality is based on the idea that when there are ruptures during early platform development, they continue to disrupt a person's life.  TEB incorporates presence, regulation, and relationship to repair these ruptures.

​

Transforming Touch® (formerly Transforming the Experience-Based Brain or TEB) 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® (formerly Transforming the Experience-Based Brain or TEB) allows for a series of ruptures and repairs.   This creates the opportunity to redesign those earlier platforms.

Transforming Touch® (formerly Transforming the Experience-Based Brain or TEB)  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® (formerly Transforming the Experience-Based Brain or TEB)  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.
