Applying Psychosensory Therapy

Psychosensory therapy offers a unique approach to addressing anxiety and emotional distress by utilising sensory input to influence brain function. Examples range from touch-based techniques like Havening to movement-based practices like yoga. Havening, in particular, uses gentle touch to potentially reduce the impact of traumatic memories and current anxiety. Anxiety coaches can effectively integrate psychosensory therapy to provide clients with immediate relief, enhance emotional regulation, and promote self-reliance in managing their anxiety, ultimately aiming for improved well-being and the ability to lead a more fulfilling life.

Sensory Pathways to Healing: The Rise and Integration of Psychosensory Therapy

Psychosensory therapy, with origins in traditional practices and modern neuroscience, is increasingly effective in mental health by directly influencing neurobiological states through sensory input. Techniques like Havening, EFT, and EMDR target the amygdala and can facilitate the processing of trauma and reduce anxiety. These therapies offer rapid, gentle, and empowering approaches for issues such as panic attacks, phobias, PTSD, chronic pain, and addictions. Psychosensory therapy integrates well with future-oriented modalities like SFBT, coaching, and NLP by quickly reducing distress, fostering self-empowerment, and creating a more receptive state for change and goal achievement.
