hi Robin, your comment about the littles was sad to read. I'm glad they have someone who understands what they need.

We comfort babies this way, rubbing their backs. It helps to bring the parasympathetic nervous system online (the relaxation response).

I remember that for 6 months during my early therapy, I had that urge for someone to rub my back. I think I was coming out of dorsal (a shut down state of arousal). I wish my therapist had had the courage to do this for me.

Thanks for your comment,
Shrinklady
