Description

In this episode, Megan and Franchesca explore the tactile system—our sense of touch—and its critical role in sensory development and MNRI work. They break down the three types of touch (discriminative, nociceptive, and proprioceptive), how touch relates to reflex integration, and the calming power of deep pressure. They also discuss how the brain interprets touch and its emotional impact, especially for children navigating trauma or sensory sensitivities.
