What is Havening Techniques?

Havening Techniques is an innovative technique designed to help individuals get to a better place. Developed by Dr Ronald Ruden, Havening uses sensory input, to alter the brain's response to distressing memories or emotional triggers. This technique harnesses the power of human touch and the brain's neuroplasticity to promote wellbeing and resilience.

During a Havening session, I guide the client through specific touch patterns, such as gently stroking the arms, face, or hands. This process helps disrupt the pathways to the brain associated with a negative memory, effectively "de-linking" the emotional response from the memory itself. The result is a significant reduction in the emotional intensity of the memory, leading to a calmer, more balanced state of mind. Havening is known for it's rapid and lasting effects, offering a non-invasive, empowering method for emotional healing.
