An Introduction to the Havening Touch w/ Dr. Kate Truitt
Dr. Kate Truitt introduces us to the havening touch in this psychoeducational video. She begins by explaining that havening touch can actually shift the way our brain is functioning in the moment. We have the ability to actually shift the electrochemical experience of our brain.
Havening touch works by utilizing the receptors embedded in the skin. Some respond to fast touch, while some respond to slow, gentle touch. The receptors go up to our brain which interprets the sensation we are experiencing. The havening touch engages C-tactile fibers in our skin that transmit information to our insula and areas of our prefrontal cortex. This can shift the way our brain is interacting in a given moment.
This simple touch doesn’t require a lot of executive function or attention while we do it. Our brain can be engaged in other cognitive exercises at the same time, which empowers the Havening Techniques.
These receptors have been shown to decrease cortisol and norepinephrine, which are contributors of anxiety and stress. Havening touch actually decreases the presence of these excitatory neurochemicals in our brain. It has also been shown that havening touch increases oxytocin, which helps us to feel safe and connected in the world.

How long you have to do this and how many times a day? Does it help to do only the movements without a song or recalling a experience?
