Body and the power of touch
When we see a person with depression one of the first things perceived is the way it is isolated. We cannot confuse an introspective person with a person with depression.
In body therapy sessions, I use the touch on the body as a tool called Sensitive, it is noticeable how much the touch is healing, it is a reconnection with one's own existence, with the pleasure of life, when the person feels his body being touched he makes contact with its being, with its essence, the effects are immediate even though it is a development process.
The lack of contact, affection, affection makes the person more and more isolated, when he realizes the state he is in, it may be late, a depression was triggered.
Perceiving the body, exercising the state of presence helps to maintain focus and connection with you. How many times we feel alone, needy and someone passes by and says "good morning" or we get a hug and these gestures are enough to change our day, we feel seen being part of the environment, welcomed.
This is the report of the patients when they know the “Sensitive”, the delicacy of the touch makes the level of sensitivity and perception rise, expand, some emotional blocks start to be undone and the person starts to feel like living, carrying out activities that have already been forgotten and some that I could not find the strength to continue, including continuing to live.
The meaning of life is revived and nourished bringing a new spirit and meaning to everyday life. When you realize that you are enough for yourself, you discover the strength that exists within you, other people start to add to your life without emotional dependence.
Drug addicts, addiction is a way to anesthetize themselves so as not to make contact with real life, with themselves so as not to access suffering. Just as people with suicidal thoughts want to end pain, not life. An excellent way to help these people is to change the habit, beliefs and destructive thoughts through contact, touch, affection. That is why touch is healing, the look, the listening, a hug. Love heals the soul.
