Havening
Designed to change the brain to de-traumatize the memory and remove its negative effects from both our psyche and body using distraction, touch, and eye movements, within a matter of minutes. Havening sessions can be done just as effectively online as in person.
The Havening Techniques®, also know as Delta Wave Techniques or Amygdala Depotentiation Therapy, is a research-based Psychosensory approach to anxiety-based disorders and disorders arising from traumatic stress. Developed by Dr Ronald Ruden, MD, PhD, this innovative tool is based in neuroscience and neurobiology and represents a breakthrough in the rapid and effective treatment of stress-related physical and psychological conditions.
When you perceive an event or experience as traumatic or stressful, it becomes encoded in your brain and body and can create triggers throughout your life.
Havening uses gentle touch and distracting sensory input to alter the brain’s response to traumatic memories or stressful events, thereby changing thoughts, mood and behaviour. The electrochemical changes that are triggered in the brain during Havening alter how those memories are processed.
The technique aims to help an individual to re-code a traumatic or stressful experience so that it no longer triggers a negative emotional response. It also helps build emotional resilience and improve wellbeing.
Havening can be beneficial for those struggling with anxiety, anger and rage, worry and stress, traumatic experiences or PTSD, grieving and loss, destructive emotional patterns, or recurrent fears.
Benefits of Havening
Havening can help treat mental health symptoms by changing pathways in the brain linked to emotional distress. It can also boost general well-being, reduce stress, improve performance at work, school, or in physical activities, as well as improving resilience.
