An awsome idea I ran into on the web.

See!! Tickling is good for you. It gets out all the bottled up emotions if you just give in to it.

TICKLE HEALING
by Paul Carter Ph.D.
The goal of all our work is to discover the essence of our being and to
reestablish that wisdom-essence as the place we keep coming from in our
daily lives. Laughter, pleasure, compassion, wisdom, and love are the
natural expressions of this state. Tickle Healing is a simple, direct,
outrageous, and respectful pathway back to this center of joyful being.

I am convinced that light and deep tickling is one of the most powerful
forms of touch there are. The fact that many people hate being tickled
or no
longer can feel "ticklish" is proof of the power (and the abuse of that
power ). Tickle Healing is designed in such a way as to allow all
people to
enjoy tickling again.

There are two equally important dimensions to this tickling process.
One is
of course the tickling itself, and all the play and fun and laughter
and
breathing and energy and release of tensions, weight, and
hyperseriousness.
Just this opening with laughter is so healing to body and soul. But it
is
the second dimension of " boundary setting " that has surprised me so
much
both in regards to how much we all need to learn about it as well as
how
much healing occurs through this part of the process. It is this aspect
that
was so often disregarded in our childhood experiences of being tickled
( or
touched in any way ) that has resulted in the shutting down of our
feeling
capacity and turned something essentially joyful and ecstatic into
something
painful and diminishing.

For tickling, and indeed any touch, to be pleasurable and healing, full
attention must be given to learning to sense, speak, listen to, and
completely TRUST our own and each others boundaries. This means
checking in
moment to moment, because boundaries are in a constant state of change.
In
sessions, I ask people to select one word, usually the word " stop, "
as a
sacred word. Then whenever the ticklee says "stop," the tickler must
stop
tickling long enough for the ticklee to relax and catch her breath.
After a
pause of ten to thirty seconds the tickler begins again, and the
ticklee may
say,"stop" immediately if need be and as often as she likes. The
critical
points here are to always stop when she or he says the word, to not
withdraw
at this moment but rather for both of you to breathe, relax and feel
what is
happening in yourselves, and to then allow your body to open and
continue.
This combination of control, letting go, and keeping on connecting
creates
an incredible safety and ability to open, and is an amazing practice
for
couples to experience in their lovemaking.

Definitely light for the enthusiasts! After all, we know that "Stop" means "Tickle Me MORE!"
That's why we came up with safewords!

I never heard of it being put that way that people who dont like to be tickled or aren't ticklish is an abuse of their power. There have also been several posts about how tickling has been used in therapy. What i wouldn't give to be one of those therapists.😎

I agree with scooby. MUST....EARN...PHD. As a child my sister and brother tickled me. And for some reason, not liking it, i learned to block it and not be ticklish anymore. But honestly, today i wish i was. I need to laugh more in life. 😉

PHD? Bah! Why wait 8 years? I'm setting me up a roadside stand like Lucy from the Peanuts Comics!

Tickle Therapy - 5 cents
The Doctor is In


The abuse of power theory is an interesting one, and certainly one I've seen ample support for among people I know. The emphasis on fun and trust leading to the enjoyment of tickling makes sense as well, as I can attest from the days of my youth -- I was tickled often, but never to the point that I hated it (possibly because I was the oldest).

Now, if only I could convince some of my female friends to submit to this therapy to relieve them of either their fear of tickling or lack of ticklishness.

it blows my mind that there are people who can turn off their ticklishness. how? geeze... not freaking out and making a fool out of myself at a little rib tickle would even be nice lol. the few people I have tried to tickle, who said that they were not ticklish, would always crack after a little teasing tho. and that stop-start, stop-start tickling method in the therapy... omg, forget it! lol talk about one frustrated tickler!

Turning it off and on

I've always been able to have complete control of it (tickling) in most situations. The only time you might find me respond at all, is if a girl I like is trying to tickle me. Even then there are only a few spots that work some of the time. I think with some people they really choose whether or not to be ticklish. It's partially a trust issue as well. It depends whether your comfortable enough with the person doing the tickling to completley lose it front of them. Iv'e experianced this with a few women I've known. When I first meet them and kind of sneak in one of those "accidental", non-threatening tickles I'll get no reaction. But once I get to know them (and if I'm lucky, find out that they like me) I find them to be extremley ticklish once they're comfortable.
