A Wearable Hug for Your Nervous System with Dr. Dave Rabin

There are many ways you can send a signal to the body that says, “I am safe, right now” — including slow, rhythmic breathing, soothing touch, and the vibrations of music. In this episode, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr. Rabin shares the science behind his Apollo wearable, which emits silent, soothing vibrations that speak to your nervous system.
