No brushing. This technique has the effect of desensitizing the brain to gentle touch. There are 5 types of touch receptors in the skin. Only stimulation of the receptors that handle texture have the effect of up-regulating production of Serotonin in the brain. By de-sentizing this aspect of touch, you are decreasing the ability to receive the type of stimulation that would help the brain regulate its production of Serotonin. For the touch part of the MAPS One protocol, he needs to enjoy the tactile activity. Find a part of his body that has not been exposed to brushing and that will give him pleasure through gentle touch. Remember that each session must be comfortable, loving, quiet, soft, respectful. Imagine that you are “cuddling” his brain.
