The relaxation technique that Troi taught Barclay, tapping a nerve cluster behind the ear, does it actually have any merit? Have some days when a nice little nervous system pick-me-up would come in handy ![Lol :lol: :lol:](/styles/flatawesome/xenforo/smilies/lol.gif)

"It's either this, or tugging on my dick."I would say, if you want, try it. If it works, use it. It's not like it has any real side effects, aside from someone noticing and asking "Why are you tapping behind your ear?"
Actually no, I've read it's a completely made up thing fro the show and is actually very dangerous. There is a nerve cluster where she says there is but if you firmly press on it repetitively, like she wanted Reg to do, you'll pass out. You can look it up online.
IIRC it's based on a legitimate technique, but I believe the source text itself used the phrase "based on", so do with that what you will.
