Everyone has experienced some type of trauma in their lives. Trauma Touch Therapy™ is an important tool for anyone who has felt stress of past events within their bodies. It is useful for victims of abuse, violent crime, surgery trauma, PTSD, witnesses to violent acts etc. Trauma can be a one-time event that we perceive as life threatening, such as a car accident, surgery, fall, choking episode or a physical attack.
