Our profession is based on touch and what we can learn and perceive through it, in connection with other people. To feel another person through touch is one of our most remarkable skills, giving us the capacity to communicate through it, far beyond what words are able to express. Touch allows us to learn, digest, communicate, develop, heal and connect.
Being skilled in the techniques of touch, will allow us to connect better to our clients – by using our hands so that we can harness our own strength and at the same time, stay tuned in to the experience of our clients.
Practitioners are often faced with different challenges around touch in their work with clients. These may include: how best to touch, how to touch in a way that connects directly to the clients and their experiences and how to translate what we feel beneath our hands into words.
