What Is Havening?

Understanding the Long-Term Effects of Trauma and the Healing Power of Havening Techniques®

In the realm of mental wellness, the impact of traumatic experiences can be profound and enduring. These experiences may linger with individuals for decades, leaving a lasting impact on their lives and influencing their daily decisions.

The Lingering Effects of Trauma:

It's a fact that traumatic experiences can leave a lasting imprint on our minds and bodies. Whether the trauma occurred years or even decades ago, its emotional intensity can feel as fresh as if it happened yesterday. But what's often overlooked is how these unresolved emotions from the past can unknowingly guide the decisions we make today.

Our brains rely on past experiences to make many of our decisions in our current lives. This means that traumatic events, if left unaddressed, can subtly shape our choices, preventing us from reaching our full potential and living our best lives. However, just as physical wounds can heal, our brains possess the remarkable ability to recover from trauma.

Unlocking Healing and Empowerment with Havening

Techniques:

At its core, Havening Techniques harness the power of sensory input and touch to create delta waves in the brain. These delta waves play a crucial role in processing and desensitising distressing memories. Through guided therapy and gentle touch, we work together to reframe your traumatic experiences, allowing your brain and mind to heal.

The ultimate objective of Havening Techniques is to empower you to live your best life. By addressing and resolving past traumas, you can regain control of your life, make healthier decisions, and step into your true potential.

What is Havening?

The Havening Techniques are a healing modality that is designed to help individuals overcome problems that are the consequence of traumatic encoding. The Havening Techniques belong to a larger group of methods called psychosensory therapies, which use sensory input to alter thought, mood, and behaviour. In this blog post, we will delve into what Havening is, exploring its neuroscience foundations and the remarkable benefits it offers.

Havening, also known as The Havening Techniques or Amygdala Depotentiation Technique (ADT), is a psychosensory therapy developed by Dr. Ronald Ruden. This therapeutic approach is grounded in neuroscience and is designed to help individuals release and heal from distressing emotions, traumatic memories, and negative thought patterns. The Havening Techniques have three distinct applications—the first is for emotional disturbances and encoded psychological trauma; the second is for wellness, stress management, and peak performance; and the third is a self-help tool.

What kinds of issues can the Havening Techniques assist with?

Traumatic encoding and stressful life events can have both physical and psychological repercussions.The Havening Techniques have demonstrated effectiveness in addressing various challenges, including phobias, chronic pain, distressing memories (such as broken relationships, shocking news, loss, embarrassment, etc.), as well as aiding individuals affected by natural disasters (such as hurricanes and floods) and man-made events (like war, fire, assault, home intrusion, etc.).

Additionally, they have been used to address issues like anger, fear of abandonment, grief, cravings, PTSD, panic attacks, emotional eating, and many other conditions.

The Science Behind Havening

Havening is designed to disrupt the biological pathways of trauma and stress encoded in the brain through a process known as synaptic depotentiation. This process effectively "turns off" the emotional response to traumatic memories, providing relief for many individuals. While the permanence of results varies, Havening has shown promise in extinguishing emotions and even the ability to recall traumatic memories in some cases.
