Touch IQ is a concept created by Dr. Alyssa to help people understand how they are in control of their bodies and to give them tools to self-regulate their nervous systems (8:11). It's a three-day mini-immersive workshop that helps people develop conscious boundaries that offer freedom, rather than boundaries that keep people out (8:34). The goal is to help individuals understand what matters to them and what feels good, so they can identify when something is outside their boundaries and choose not to engage (9:27).
The origin of Touch IQ came from a conversation Dr. Alyssa had with a young woman who felt she had to "get through" sex to experience the desired post-sex intimacy and holding (10:12). This led Dr. Alyssa to want to empower women and all people to make conscious decisions with their bodies that allow them to get what they want without compromising what they don't (11:06).

Touch IQ emphasizes nonsexual touch as a foundation for building social connection and well-being (25:28). It aims to teach people about consent and boundaries in touch, creating safe spaces for people to experience physical connection (30:09).
