About Haptotherapie Willem Hagg

Haptotherapie Willem Hagg is a haptotherapy practice in Zutphen. Willem Hagg offers learning treatments to colleagues in training, as well as haptotherapy.

Haptotherapy

Haptotherapy is an application of haptonomy (the study of touch and tactile awareness) and consists of therapy and guidance. Affective contact is central to experiencing safety and trust.

Treatment

Sessions may begin with an intake and a discussion of the reason for seeking help. The work then follows what the initial experiences have brought up; sometimes the introduction is skipped.
