ASMR e promoção de saúde

Abstract

The present Thesis aims to reflect on the relationships between ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) and the psychological effects on its users. ASMR has emerged in recent decades as a cultural and sensory phenomenon that has gained followers worldwide. This is mainly due to social changes and advances in digital technologies, triggering increasingly virtual relationships among people. People seek friendships, relationships, and comfort in text conversations, videos, and audio, and that's precisely what ASMR aims to provide to its users: a moment of relaxation and self-care. Many users report numerous benefits in their lives resulting from this sensory and relaxing experience. Thus, we examine the potential relationships between the use of ASMR and effects ranging from stress relief to improved sleep and emotional well- being. It is concluded, according to identified studies, that ASMR can be used as a complementary practice to psychology for the promotion of mental and physical health.
