Havening is a Physco Sensory Therapy based on Neuroscience.
Havening can help people identify an issue and where that issues evolves from.
Havening can help to install a new response to an issue which is more positive.
Release Issues like trauma, anxiety, stress and increase confidence and positivity.
No negative side effects, it can produce rapid change, it is relaxing and efficient.
The client is always awake and in control whilst the Havening process is being applied.
How Havening is Applied
Havening uses sensory touch therapy which generates a calming Delta wave which is produced by a gentle rubbing of the shoulders, down the back of the arms to the elbows and sometimes down to the palms. Palm havening is a gentle rubbing of the palms and face havening is a rubbing of the face and forehead.
Each of these methods have been clinically monitored and measured to establish the amount of Delta waves produced.
Delta waves are the calming energy/electrical wave the body naturally produces.
The process can be applied by yourself or by the Havening Practitioner you are working with.
For release of a traumatic/stressful event you will be asked to recall the trauma, stressful moment .The havening touch will have started and after the recall of the event a process of positive talk/thought (what you like), distraction is then used to remove the encoded memory.
Havening can be carried out with or without content of the event being exposed to the Havening Practitioner.
Slightly different procedures of client/ practitioner verbal correspondence are used for relaxation, self-esteem and confidence building havening.
A psycho-sensory technique, meaning it uses the senses (in this case, touch) as a healing tool in stressful situations. “Havening is a technique which uses sensory input like touch to change how the brain functions,” explains Ronald Ruden, M.D., a primary care doctor at Medical Offices of Manhattan, who created the technique with his brother, Steven Ruden, D.D.S. “It does so by creating a special type of brain wave, [a delta wave,] that acts in a therapeutic manner.”
“First is activation of the emotional content of the [traumatic] event by imaginal recall … A gentle and soothing touch is then applied to the upper arms, palms and around the eyes. It produces an extrasensory response of safety that arises from the evolutionary equivalent of what a mother’s touch does at the time of birth. It is innately wired. Concurrently with havening touch the therapist distracts the individual. Since the mind cannot hold two thoughts simultaneously, the use of distraction displaces the recalled event from working memory and prevents it from re-activating the amygdala.”
