Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study utilizes a single blind (researcher blind) comparison of the psychosensory therapy Havening Techniques (treatment) versus waiting list (no treatment). Participants will be assessed using resilience testing (CD-RISC), and Type D measure of personality (DS14). A subgroup of the treatment arm will be assessed for the biomarkers of blood pressure, heart rate and cortisol. This parallel-group controlled trial will examine the efficacy of Havening Techniques at 3 timepoints; baseline (Time point 1), twenty-four hours post (Time point 2) and one month later (Time point 3).
