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.
The havening technique was developed by dr. Ronald ruden , an american neuroscientist, as a form of trauma therapy, using science as the basis. The aim of the havening technique is to aid healing using sensory touch. Paul mckenna is one of the most famous proponents of the havening technique, having benefited from it himself after a session with dr. Ruden. The havening technique focuses on touch and uses it therapeutically (the havening touch) to remove distressing memories and thoughts. There is evidence to suggest that memories can be changed once they have been recalled, lessening the negative impact of them. http://4sn.s3-website.me-south-1.amazonaws.com/HaveningTherapy/index.html
What does Havening involve?
Havening, which was developed by ronald ruden, m. D. , an internist with a ph. D. In organic chemistry, generates delta waves that have a positive effect on regions of the brain that are involved in creating emotionally charged memories and trauma.
One of these brain regions is the amygdala, which plays a major role in recording the emotions of our experiences. When it comes to traumatic experiences, the amygdala encodes emotions in a different way, and they become what neuroscientists call “potentiated. ” this means they get hard-wired into your brain where they stick like super glue. “that’s why you can close your eyes and within moments feel like you’re back in a traumatic moment,” says dr.
17march 2020 text laura pitcher last month, hailey bieber shared with the world that her husband justin bieber practices the havening technique regularly on an episode of the singer’s youtube docuseries, justin bieber: seasons. She describes it as “almost like when you’re a kid and your mum is rubbing your back to sleep and it’s the best feeling in the world”, taking anywhere from a few minutes to hours. Taught to bieber by his health coach dr buzz mingin, it seems justin turns to self-havening (practising the method on yourself) for anxiety management. He’s not alone. Belonging to a larger group of methods called psychosensory therapies, such as the wider known tapping technique (an emotional freedom technique that involves tapping on different parts of the body), havening uses physical touch as a “therapeutic tool”, applying the technique by rubbing certain points on the body (hands, arms, forehead, and under eyes) slowly and with moderate pressure.
What if I’m not comfortable being touched?
Havening helps boost oxytocin, a “love hormone” that is typically released through human touch and bonding. Contact is something that we’ve been lacking over the past few months. The hugs, handshakes, and high-fives all help us de-stress. Havening can convince your brain that you are receiving some of this touch. We are built for community, for relationships, and to do life with other people (in-person, not virtually). This has presented challenges for many as we balance our need to be with people and health concerns. Of course, i’m not suggesting that havening should replace personal contact and touch. But in a world where touch and close proximity is still being limited or feels uncomfortable to many, havening is a great way to calm yourself and the ones you love.
