What is the Havening Technique?
Welcome - please read our disclaimer
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.
So, how does that work, exactly? here are the basics of the practice, including whether the havening technique actually works.
The Havening Technique and PTSD
To date, trauma treatment has relied on exposure and talk therapy techniques to address the symptoms of ptsd and other co-occurring disorders. The goal has been increasing exposure to the fear based stimuli in order to decrease sensitization to the trauma triggers thus reducing, and hopefully removing, the symptoms of anxiety, ptsd, panic attacks, and other phobic responses. Unfortunately, these techniques, while effective, are extremely painful not only for the client but also for the clinician to administer. These treatment techniques may inadvertently re-traumatize the client or result in vicarious traumatization of the clinician. Many trauma treatments have historically focused on executive processing centers of the brain in order to use language, logic, and rational thought processes to reduce the trauma response.
Yes, further clinical studies are taking place during 2020. In particular, the trauma psychologist, dr. Kate truitt is researching havening at her trauma center. She was previously traumatized and now cured with the havening techniques. As of may 2020, only two research articles have been published.

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.
I primarily use havening techniques® , a gentle and effective neuroscience-based therapy for major and minor trauma and ptsd. This trauma therapy works directly with the part of the brain that has stored the traumatic memory and reduces or neutralises the distress associated with it. Havening techniques is designed to soothe the nervous system and the process is gentle enough to be used immediately after the trauma. It has been extensively clinically trialled with army veterans, 911 survivors and assault victims, and it produces impressive results in short timeframes. It produces impressive results often in just one session. To learn more about havening techniques and the science behind it visit the havening website.
