Widely used during pregnancy, haptonomy is based on the belief that conscious, intentional touch can significantly influence emotional and physical development<\/strong>. But this kind of tactile contact is also recommended at every stage of life, to support the treatment of various conditions or disorders. Here’s an overview.<\/p>\n

What is the role of haptonomy?<\/h2>\n

Haptonomy starts from the premise that tactile contact is a fundamental means of emotional communication<\/strong>. This discipline aims to promote wellbeing, emotional security and mutual understanding through physical interaction with no erotic connotation<\/strong>. This kind of touch is full of affection, at once respectful, generous and sincere.<\/p>\n

A pioneer in developing haptonomy, Frans Veldman<\/strong> completely revolutionised the relationship between caregiver and patient. His work highlighted the value of touch<\/strong> as an essential non-verbal means of communication for creating an emotional bond. Today, his methods are applied in perinatal care and palliative care alike, as well as in education or any human encounter.<\/p>\n

Firmly cross-disciplinary<\/strong>, this science of affectivity is practised at any age, supporting patients through psychological difficulties<\/strong>: school phobia<\/a>, hyperactivity, hypersensitivity, autism, etc.<\/p>\n

How can haptonomy help children with DYS, ADHD or ASD?<\/h2>\n

Haptonomy aims to develop a feeling of security and self-affirmation<\/strong>, inviting the patient to see themselves as a unique, whole person. It draws on their own desire and enjoyment of life.<\/p>\n

Traditionally, the first session is used to get to know each other<\/strong>, and the following 4 to discover haptonomy<\/strong>. Through subtle, appropriate touch, this approach provides a sense of inner security and deep wellbeing, fostering fulfilment, confidence, strength and joy. At the end of this initial work, the professional assesses with the patient whether or not to continue<\/strong> the sessions.<\/p>\n

Since haptonomy is designed to reduce <\/strong>stress and anxiety<\/strong><\/a> and improve self-confidence<\/strong>, it is recommended for children with DYS disorders, Attention Deficit Disorder with or without Hyperactivity (ADHD), or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).<\/p>\n

From haptonomy to haptopsychotherapy: what’s at stake?<\/h2>\n

Applied to psychotherapy, it can offer an approach that complements talk therapy<\/strong>: haptopsychotherapy is aimed at anyone who feels stuck on a part of their life.<\/p>\n

Sessions will be adapted to the difficulties and symptoms involved<\/strong>, in order to position correctly and approach an autistic child, or to calm a hyperactive child. The shared goal of this approach is to help them develop their potential<\/strong>, while supporting and guiding their parents.<\/p>\n

Don’t hesitate to get in touch with a <\/strong>psychologist on the Ora Visio platform<\/strong><\/a> to discuss this approach and get their valuable advice. Specialised in DYS, ADHD and ASD, they are particularly familiar with the difficulties and symptoms involved and will do everything they can to help ease them and improve daily life<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
