The havening touch works by decreasing the impact of pain and stress on the mind and body while enhancing feelings of well being. It does so by changing the electro-chemical state of the brain (Sumich et al., 2022). When you use self-havening, you're giving your brain a wonderful, calming bath of feel-good experiences and ultimately giving your amygdala a safe haven in which to heal. - 'Building Resilience With Touch'.
