Haptotherapy is a type of complementary therapy that involves the use of touch to achieve mental relaxation, as well as interventions, such as talking and counseling, to assist individuals in getting in touch with their feelings. It is based on haptonomy, referred to as a science that combines thoughts, feelings, and words through a "psycho-tactile" contact. 2, record 1, English, - haptotherapy

La spécificité de l'haptonomie thérapeutique réside dans une approche inédite qui considère le corps (soma), l'esprit (psyché) et les émotions comme indissociables [...] Contrairement à d'autres thérapies qui utilisent le canal du mental, l'haptonomie se concentre sur ce que vous ressentez réellement en exploitant le canal de l'émotif. 1, record 1, French, - haptoth%C3%A9rapie

Haptotherapy can be deployed in many situations throughout lifetime, from perinatal coaching through gerontology and palliative care.
