It's a laughing matter but it's no joke. The endorphins released pursuant to the involvuntary laughter resulting from tickling has healing properties that provide great stress relief and general well-being. Hollywood stars such as Drew Barrymore swear by "Tickle Therapy" and actually hire someone to administer monthly treatments. I am looking to add find someone to add tickling therapy to the holistic therapies that they offer. If this is of interest to you, drop me a note.



this is in or around RI

no -- it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests

Well, there is definitely much to be said about the potential healing properties of the hormone, Beta Endorphin. Practitioners of Holistic medicine, and even their contemporary counterparts have come to realize this years ago.

You mention Tickle Therapy as a means of producing the necessary laughter to create the secretion of this hormone, but did you know that there is already "Laughter Therapy," which claims to do exactly the same thing, only without tickling.

I've thought about promoting the powers of tickle therapy myself years ago, but it seems that Beta Endorphin is released from other activities as well, such as feelings of romance, sexual arousal, Dark Cholcolate, and even strenuous exercise.

I think that a therapy which deals exclusively with tickling is certainly a viable sell, but it is doubtful that it would be made popular by many beyond the Hollywood crowd.

For gods sake, it has taken me months of counselling and psychotherapy to get over the interview clip where Drew Barrymore talks about being Tickled ; and now you lot have to bring it up again .

small world

I actually posted that orignial Craigslist message here in Wisconsin. I got one response and had a pretty fun tickling session. MY subject said that she enjoyed it a lot but I have never heard from her since. The one posted here says it is in or around "RI". Did you change that from WI or was it reposted in Rhode Island. Either way is fine with me.

I cut and pasted it directly from the website the yahoo answerer showed as her source of information.

actually, when I first got into tickling, it was for this reason. it was only later that I discovered tickling had "other" benefits.

I have used tickling as Therapy for 30+ years and have converted many of my former (I am no longer at that job) work place friends into beleivers. We had many a lunch time tickle and giggle.

I promoted it on my old site as well.

I am all for it and would love to see someone try to make a go of it as a clinic or something.
