It is called the Havening Technique. In it, the therapist uses a specific sequence that combines kinesthetics (touch and movement) and distraction processes to decode and release emotional and traumatic experiences.<\/p>\n<p>In my latest post, I introduce how this method may work by discussing how touch is processed in the brain. In a follow-up blog, I will dive more specifically into how the Havening Technique may modify the brain\u2019s response to triggering stimuli.
