In order to enhance the ability of a subject to freely express emotion and to overcome inhibitive and repressive tendencies, a system is provided adapted to generate generalized emotional states by way of repeated random signal initiation and expressive touch. By going through a sequence of generalized emotion states (sentic states) in a programmed manner, the subject completes a sentic cycle. It has been found that such sentic cycles serve to relieve certain psychosomatic disorder symptoms.
