— What it's about
What the body carries, without words.
Transforming Touch® was developed by Stephen Terrell and is a body-oriented, regulation-focused method for developmental and shock trauma. It works with mindful, resting hand contact and can support the regulation capacity of the nervous system. Especially in the context of early and preverbal experiences, touch can be a helpful way to integrate the body into therapeutic work.
The sessions are quiet, unhurried, and mutually agreed upon. You remain fully clothed. The hand contact can take place, for example, on the back, shoulders, or ankles – and only ever where it feels right for you.
We direct our attention to what becomes perceptible in the body: for example, changes in breathing, muscle tension, warmth, heaviness, or restlessness – without pressure toward emotional release or cognitive insight. We go at your pace and orient ourselves toward what is comfortable and manageable for you right now.
Not touching can also be part of the work. Your boundaries are respected at all times, and you remain in control.

— you decide
You are always in control.
You will remain fully clothed
Hand contact will only occur in areas that we have agreed upon beforehand.
It is okay to say no!
We stop, pause, or do not even begin if an internal "no" arises. Exploring and communicating boundaries is an important part of the process.
Touch only with your consent
At any given moment, you decide what feels right for you, and you can change your mind at any time.
No pressure to have to feel anything
There is no right or wrong way to feel.
