About Havening Techniques®

Havening is a powerful, neuroscience-informed psychosensory approach that uses touch and distraction to reduce the emotional charge of stressful or traumatic memories. By helping the brain create new, calm associations, it supports clients in feeling safe, empowered, and free from the residue of past distress.

Practitioners use Havening to help with:

  • Stress, anxiety, emotional overwhelm and burnout

  • Trauma, PTSD

  • Fears, phobias

  • Building resilience, self-compassion, and confidence

  • Enhancing therapeutic outcomes in other modalities

Whether you’re a therapist, healthcare provider, or coach, Havening integrates seamlessly into existing practices to deepen transformation and accelerate healing.
