Havening Technique
Havening is a psycho-sensory based technique that is based on the fields of neuroscience and neurobiology which uses sensory input in order to alter thought, mood, and behavior. It is believed that when an event or experience is perceived as stressful it becomes immutably encoded in the psyche and in the body, often with life altering consequences. Havening is designed to make changes in the brain, where it actually changes the landscape of the brain, in order to de-traumatize and remove from both the psyche and the body the emotional memory of the event and its negative effects.
This safe and gentle modality is administered by touch used by the practitioner or in some instances self havening touch. The movements include rubbing of the palms of the hands together, palms of the hands crossed over at the elbows with touch moving from the top of the shoulder to elbow and then back to the top of the shoulder and then repeated. Additional touch option is the palms of the hands on the forehead and gently moving them down the sides of the cheeks to the bottom of the jaw line. A video is available if you have any questions about these movements.
During the session the practitioner will ask the client to recite their stressful experience using working memory while the practitioner listens and at a certain point will then proceed to ask the client to go through a series of verbal exercises to diffuse any distress where the goal is to bring the client to a state of positivity, a feeling of calmness, safety and peacefulness. Please keep in mind that it is impossible to guarantee any specific results regarding the goals as we don’t know how the client will personally respond. However, we will work together to achieve the best possible results for you, serving your highest and greatest good. Generally, clients experience positive outcomes using Havening Therapy.
