Rebecca Torosian: Surrogate Partner Therapy, Trauma & Healing Intimacy Through Touch

from Brothers of the Arcana Show · host Brothers of the Arcana Show

Surrogate partner therapy is one of the most misunderstood practices in mental health — and one of the most needed. Intimacy behavioral therapist Rebecca Torosian explains how guided touch and nervous system work help people move past anxiety, shame, performance issues, and dissociation — and why an AI girlfriend will never do what a regulated human nervous system can.We get into what surrogate partner therapy actually is (and isn't), touch and trauma release, why men in particular get stuck, and how real connection gets rebuilt one nervous system at a time. Raw, clinical, and surprisingly hopeful.Hosts: Alex Aldea and Dave Ferrigno — Brothers of the Arcana.Watch the video edition with chapters: https://youtu.be/U7rBfYYmhIAEvery episode + more: https://brothersofthearcana.com
