Pause Button Therapy is possibly the first 'tactile' intervention to be introduced into talking therapies. It's a user-friendly technique, already proven in British schools and with adult problems such as addiction, anger management and weight loss within Gastric Mind Band therapy.

With more thinking time, you can see the positive and negative consequences of your actions, allowing you to make more informed choices on a daily basis.
