Just learned about this as an option to help with sensory overload and anxiety feelings. It is usually used on autism patients but is becoming more known in the BP, BPD, and GAD communities.

Deep touch pressure is the type of surface pressure that is exerted in most types of firm touching, holding, stroking, petting of animals, or swaddling.

Has anyone tried this and had success?
