this website introduces you to an extraordinary application of recently acquired knowledge in the field of neuroscience. The techniques described herein are based in evolutionary biology and offer you the opportunity to live a healthier, hopefully happier and more productive life. To western eyes, to watch pain instantly disappear, long standing problems resolve and disturbing memories fade into the irretrievable past is nothing short of astonishing. We call this method havening. Havening, the transitive verb of the word haven, means to put into a safe place.
While some forms of this approach have been around for decades, many mental health professionals remain skeptical given that it involves no medication, talking or prolonged exposure.
According to ruden, havening can be performed on oneself, done by a havening practioner or even performed over the phone. The process involves recalling a traumatic memory in as much detail as possible before embarking on a series of movements and thought activities. The technique starts by either rubbing your forehead or arms, as seen in the justin beiber documentary series, then counting to 20 while visualizing a calming activity such as swimming in a pool, walking in a field or playing ping-pong. After counting to 20, the subject hums a children's song — examples given by ruden include "row, row your boat" and "take me out to the ball game" — before re-evaluating how much distress the traumatic memory brings.
I've received an invitation to an event happening in london this coming weekend, fronted by the stage hypnotist turned self-help guru paul mckenna. The two-day seminar is for healthcare professionals to learn about the havening (amygdala depotentiation) technique. According to a press release, the technique is a "system of scientific procedures" that involves eye movements and touching people on their arms. Compared with nlp and talking therapies, havening can apparently "cure people quicker and cure multiple problems in one go," including "trauma, fear , distressing memories and compulsions. " mckenna says: "i can now do in minutes what used to take months.

Havening calms the emotions and feelings associated with traumatic and stressful memories. It is believed that through the application of sensory touching, the electrochemical responses in the brain connected to a traumatic event are then de-linked and ‘unencoded’. The therapy involves sensory therapeutic touch as you create ‘delta wave’ which when applied therapeutically within a havening session has been shown to destress and relieve negative emotions. It has been shown to help relieve symptoms of stress, trauma, phobias and fears and even ptsd. It is believed to be a highly safe therapeutic complimentary therapeutic application and is gentle in approach and creates relaxing feelings quickly in the client.
In these uncertain times some of us might feel stressed, anxious or isolated from those around us. Practising some self-havening techniques can help with these feelings. The havening technique is a process scientifically proven to eliminate the consequences of emotional stored memories through the encouragement and development of a more resilient mind. When we have an event in our life that we give meaning to, based on how we process the information via our five senses, we can sometimes develop phobias, traumatically encoded memories (ptsd/injury), pathological emotions, anxiety, grief, somatic pain and many other conditions. The havening technique, otherwise known as psycho-sensory therapy, is proving highly effective in removing these responses.
Havening refers to a newer alternative therapy technique that incorporates distraction, touch, and eye movements. Its goal is to reduce anxiety and distress associated with negative memories. According to dr. Steven ruden and dr. Ronald ruden, the creators of the technique, the use of therapeutic touch can help treat mental health symptoms by changing pathways in the brain linked to emotional distress. The theory rests on the idea that touch can help boost the production of serotonin in your brain. This, in turn, helps you relax and detach from an upsetting memory or experience. The release of serotonin is said to have a soothing effect that helps relieve mental health symptoms and keep painful memories from troubling you further.

Its developers originally called it amygdala repotentiation therapy because they believed it changed how the amygdala of the brain processes emotions. They claimed the technique creates an internal safe haven, allowing a person to reprocess and eventually escape emotional and physical pain. However, havening is a new alternative therapy, and there is very little research testing its effectiveness. While some studies suggest it may help with pain and anxiety, well-designed placebo-controlled trials have not proven that it works. A person can self-haven, which means they perform the technique on themselves, or seek havening therapy from a trained practitioner.
