Psychosensory Therapy: An Overview

Psychosensory therapy uses sensory input to alter moods, sensations, thinking and behaviour. Unlike talk and drug therapies, psychosensory therapy employs sensory input to generate an extrasensory response, affecting beneficial change in the brain. Techniques like Havening use touch to create delta waves, depotentiate traumatic experiences, and provide a healing haven for the amygdala. By addressing both the mind and body, psychosensory therapy offers an alternative or complementary approach to overcoming anxiety, phobias, stress and panic attacks, with potential advantages over traditional methods like CBT, especially in treating trauma.
