Background and influences[ edit ]
the origin of psychosensory therapy is rooted in applied kinesiology , traditional chinese medicine , and the field of energy psychology. The term was first used by ruden, which he described as altering feelings, thoughts, and behaviors through utilizing sensory input. Ruden argues that psychosensory therapy should be thought of as a third pillar to treatment, in addition to psychotherapy and psychopharmacology.
Regarding traditional chinese medicine , acupuncture was used as a way to cure disease through different energy meridians in our body. According to chang, the idea with tcm is that health is harmony, and disease is a lack of harmony, and one way of achieving harmony is through interaction of rhythms.
Interventions [ edit ]
Hunt recommended "evidence-based interventions" for stress management, some of which bear similarities to
Havening
. One recommendation, deep diaphragmatic breathing, can reduce in-the-moment anxiety when done correctly, and mindfulness meditation can help with stress.
She also recommended yoga and physical exercise. However, for more extreme situations, she advised seeking professional advice.
Havening techniques [ edit ]
The first ministry i was called to before i was even ordained was working with trauma. After my fear steered me away from a role as a domestic abuse worker at women's aid on several occasions, it got to the point where i couldn't not apply. It was so obvious the role was meant for me! working with trauma has turned out to be a healing journey for me personally. Funny how that happens! over the years i've looked into many clearing therapies including emdr, eft, journeywork and rewind therapy to sit alongside my meditation teaching, and after ordination havening techniques was the one that called to me.

What is it? is it right for me? due to the incredibly effective and efficient way havening* works with the brain, many people who have tried a lot of other things find this can be the technique that makes the difference they have been looking for.

It can be considered the third pillar alongside psychotherapies (talk therapies) and psychopharmacology (medications) for the treatment of physical and emotional suffering.
