Deep Pressure Squeezing/Hugs

How to Do:

1. Setup:

  • Ensure the participant is seated comfortably in a quiet, calming space, such as a bean bag chair or a soft, comfortable seat.
  • Optionally, play soft, relaxing classical music or nature sounds to enhance the calming atmosphere.

 

2. Squeezing:

Begin with the following deep pressure squeezes:

  • Top of the Head and Forehead: Apply firm pressure with your hands, giving 10 gentle compressions to the top of the head and forehead.
  • Shoulders: Apply 10 deep squeezes to the shoulders, using your hands to gently press and release.
  • Forearms: Give 10 deep squeezes to the forearms, applying firm pressure with your hands.
  • Trunk and Hips: Gently apply 10 deep squeezes to the trunk and hips, using both hands to provide calming pressure.
  • Thighs: Finish with 10 deep squeezes to the thighs, ensuring firm but gentle pressure.

 
3. Repeat:

  • Repeat the entire sequence for 2-3 trials, adjusting the pressure based on the participant’s comfort level.

 
4. Relaxation:

  • After completing the squeezes, allow the participant to relax in the quiet space for a few moments.
  • Encourage deep breathing and focus on the calming effects of the deep pressure.

 

Tips for Success:

  • Be mindful of the participant’s comfort level with the pressure. Adjust the intensity of the squeezes if necessary.
  • Use a gentle and soothing tone throughout the activity to enhance relaxation.
  • Ensure the space is calm and free of distractions to maximize the calming effects of the deep pressure.
