As noted above, there seems to be legit mechanisms and aspects to this therapy. On the site for havening technique s, there are several resources listed which explore the concepts of the techniques and that go into more detail on the proposed mechanisms. There is also a small, uncontrolled trial that demonstrated that a single use of this technique decreased self-reported symptoms of depression and anxiety in healthcare professionals, as measured by several psychiatric surveys. I wasn’t able to
find
many other research studies on the havening technique outside of this website.
Furthermore, there appears to be some controversy and concerns that it may skip over the benefits of psychotherapy and fully processing the trauma.
Does the Havening Technique Really Work?
Havening techniques® is a relatively new, innovative, neuroscience-based therapy that is a gentle and effective treatment for past emotional traumas, anxiety, fears and phobias, that may be holding you back ,from being free to live the life you desire or being the person you want to be. Havening techniques® are otherwise known as delta wave techniques, is a practice that uses simple touch to create delta waves in the brain. It specifically works on the amygdala of the brain, de-traumatising the memory and releasing the emotional connection that is causing the distress. This, in turn, helps to permanently eliminate and release unwanted feelings and emotions from both the body and mind.

What is the Havening Technique?
We all know that our memories bring up emotions and our behaviour is driven by these emotions. When you go through a very stressful or traumatic experience – your brain can store it, often with life altering consequences. Stressful experiences get stored in great detail in the brain, which means, that any cue that is similar to what happened at the time or even thinking about it can trigger the brain to believe that the event is happening again. Havening therapy helps permanently treat and heal these traumas, anxiety and phobias as well as to create positive alterations in our brain.
Havening is a body-centric therapy where the human touch is required to trigger or get sensory input. 1. Recall the traumatic experiences. You can share them with the practitioner, but if it is too painful to express it in words, then you only need to think about it 2. To de-link the emotional stressor associated with traumatic events, havening touch is applied. This touch becomes the reason for the generation of delta waves in the brain. These waves set off electrochemical reactions which dissolve the encoded memory from the brain via reducing the receptor at the encrypted neural channel. 3.
The havening technique® is a therapy technique that includes touch, distraction, and eye movements to reduce distress and anxiety that may be linked to negative memories. Havening techniques stem from psycho-sensory therapies which alter mood, thoughts, and behaviour through sensory input. Often, past events and thoughts can remain in our subconscious and resurface, causing distress and emotional anxiety each time they return. The havening technique, delivered by a qualified havening practitioner, aims to alter the way the brain stores these emotional memories in a safe and effective way.
Havening techniques® is a therapeutic modal that assists people to ‘de-traumatise’ memory that has been encoded in their brain. When the distressing aspects of a stressful life event are traumatically encoded in the brain and body, they become ‘stuck’ and often go onto manifest into psychologically distressing symptoms, anxiety, fears or mental health disorders. The approach is based on the ever-unfolding breakthroughs of neuroscience and was developed by dr ronald a. Ruden m. D. , ph. D and his brother steven j. Ruden d. D. S. , icf/acc. Monica karst is a certified havening techniques practitioner.
This information will help you to understand the neurobiology of the havening techniques® and its effect on stressful life events and traumatic memory. The havening techniques® is a method, which is designed to change the brain to de-traumatise the memory and remove its negative effects from both our psyche and body. As part of its protocol the havening techniques uses the sensory input of human touch as a therapeutic tool which we have identified as havening touch®. The process of the havening technique requires touch. The havening techniques® are powerful tools that can be used to treat the consequences of encoded traumatic or stressful memories.
