The Havening Techniques®

The Havening Techniques® are a healing modality rooted in neuroscience. They were developed by medical Doctor and Neuroscientist brothers, Dr Ron and Dr Steve Ruden.  They are a psychosensory technique, that is, combining Havening Touch®, which consists of slowly stroking the palms, sides of arms or face with distractions and different talking techniques. This generates Delta Waves in the brain, which can induce a state of relaxation and assists the release of a wide variety of issues. A benefit of these techniques is that it is possible to work content-free, linking in to the emotions, without the need for talking through issues, which can be re-traumatising. 

 

The Havening Techniques® can be highly effective and very relaxing, and often one or two sessions can be life-changing. 

They can be used in three ways: 

  • to clear trauma, fears, anxieties, compulsions etc

  • for wellbeing/as a self-help tool

  • to enhance performace and personal growth

I use the Havening Techniques® alone, or in combination with art therapy, as

you wish.

I have specific experience with the following: 

  • PTSD, CPTSD, trauma

  • anxiety, panic attacks, depression

  • stress management

  • grief and bereavement 

  • fears and phobias

  • addictions

  • increasing resilience
