Tact
Tactile accessories for self-regulation with anxiety. The project consists of a set of small pebbles, each sized to fit under a thumb. Each surface has a unique texture, allowing the user to choose a texture that corresponds to their current state and personal stress-management technique.
Stones in order: 1. Tenderness, serenity, safety, calm—a brief shift of attention from anxious thoughts to physical sensations. 2. Rhythm, order, stability, grounding, and shifting attention away from anxiety. 3. Shifting sensations, maintaining focus, contrast—alternating attention between different textures for rapid calming. 4. Engagement, concentration—a stone for those seeking a more intense sensory interaction. 5. Focus, a central point of touch for concentration; a simpler contact that doesn’t require complex manipulation of an object, allowing one to quickly alleviate anxiety and focus on a task.
