— What it's about
What the body carries beyond words
Transforming Touch® was developed by Stephen Terrell and is a body-oriented, regulation-focused approach for working with developmental and shock trauma. It uses gentle, mindful touch to support the nervous system’s capacity for regulation. Especially when working with early or preverbal experiences, touch can offer a way to include the body more fully in the therapeutic process.
Sessions are quiet, unhurried, and always based on mutual agreement. You remain fully clothed throughout. Touch may take place, for example, on the back, shoulders, or ankles—and only in places and ways that feel comfortable and right for you.
Together, we pay attention to what you notice in your body: changes in your breathing, muscle tension, warmth, heaviness, restlessness, or other sensations. There is no pressure to release emotions or arrive at a particular insight. We move at your pace and stay with what feels comfortable and manageable for you in the moment.
Not touching can also be part of the work. Your boundaries are respected at all times, and you remain in control of what happens in the session.
— how it works
A few things to know
What to expect
You remain fully clothed throughout the session. We discuss and agree on any touch beforehand. During the session, we pay close attention to how your body and nervous system respond, always respecting your boundaries and your experience.
Duration
Integrated into the therapy session in whatever way feels right for you—sometimes more, sometimes less, and sometimes not at all. We adapt to what you need in each moment.
Location
In my practice at Görlitzer Str. 36 in Dresden or online.
In fact, Transforming Touch can also work online. If you have any questions about this, feel free to get in touch with me.

It is okay to say No!
We stop, pause, or don't 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.
