Area of Science:

  • Complementary and Alternative Medicine
  • Nursing Practice
  • Psychosomatic Medicine

Background:

  • Therapeutic Touch (TT) is a mindful, intentional energy-touch modality.
  • Exploration of the subjective experience of TT is limited.
  • This study investigates the dual experience of giving and receiving TT.

Observation:

  • A case study approach was employed to explore the TT experience.
  • Subjective accounts were gathered to understand its unique qualities.
  • The study focused on a client experiencing pain and anxiety.

Findings:

  • The experience of giving and receiving Therapeutic Touch was largely parallel.
  • The client exhibited a positive response to the TT intervention.
  • The study highlighted the need for additional research.

Implications:

  • Findings suggest TT may offer parallel benefits for practitioners and recipients.
  • Further research is warranted to validate TT's efficacy in pain and anxiety management.
  • This study contributes to understanding the subjective dimensions of energy-based therapies.
