Abstract

Many people find on the Internet an essential which they turn searching for solutions
that improve their psychological discomfort. Due to that, in recent years, it has come up an experience employed by more and more people to try to decrease negative emotional feelings caused by stress or anxiety. We are referring to the ASMR, a phenomenon in which through different sounds, whispers and images, you experience a feeling of calm thanks to a pleasant “tingling” starts in the crown and spreads throughout the body. The main objective of this work is to know the benefits that ASMR can contribute to people with psychological disorders. The studies consulted show that the display of videos with ASMR content produces a relaxing and calming effect. Furthermore, it was established that there is a physiological response that shows that ASMR is a complex emotional experience that helps relaxation. Thus, ASMR could be effective in alleviating a variety of mental health problems. In conclusion, we can establish that the ASMR is effective in relaxation and tranquility and has a demonstrable physiological basis, which provides
some credibility to this experience.
