Discovering Your Healing Capacity Through Havening Techniques®

What if healing is possible through the gentle power of touch? You're about to explore a therapeutic approach that naturally combines ancient healing wisdom with cutting-edge neuroscience to create profound trauma healing.

What is Havening Techniques®?

Havening Techniques® is a gentle psycho-sensory therapy designed to help your brain heal from traumatic memories and remove their negative effects from both your mind and body. Extensive research has revealed that gentle touch on the face, hands and arms activates the production of delta brain waves (healing, deep sleep brain waves). Through delta brain waves, each stress event (traumatic memory) when brought to working memory can be disconnected as a threat detection system, removing the emotional overwhelm and physiological stress responses triggered by that encoded information.

This means your healing journey can begin to unfold naturally as you learn to work with your brain's built-in ability to heal from traumatic experiences.

Why Threat Detection Systems Are Important

The creation of threat detection systems by encoding information from stress events is the brains natural way of protection. It’s important to remember that the function of this trauma encoding is to keep you safe by remembering potential dangers. While this threat detection system creates the necessary fight-or-flight response during trauma, it can continue creating these intense stress responses even when you're safe.

You might notice that when these stored trauma memories are triggered, your body becomes flooded with stress chemicals like cortisol and adrenaline. Your fight-or-flight response activates muscle tension, rapid heartbeat, and emotional overwhelm before your conscious mind even processes what's happening. This natural protection system is important, however not all threat detection systems that are created are continually needed.

The constant threat ‘triggering’ and continual flooding of the body with stress chemicals can cause an incredible amount of harm.

During a Havening session

The first thing you might notice about healing through Havening is how naturally your body responds to this calming touch. Havening involves a gentle self-soothing motion with crossed arms, softly stroking from shoulders to elbows as well as gently petting your face and rubbing your hands together.

During a Havening session, you can imagine yourself comfortably creating a safe healing space where several beautiful things happen:

Gentle guidance and support through the Havening process
Stress relief and emotional balance as your nervous system begins to shift
Learning how to Haven so that you can use Havening as a tool anytime
The release of stress and overwhelming emotions and even physical responses related to stress events

The Lasting Results of Your Healing Choice

One of the most powerful things about Havening is the lasting nature of the results. While Havening Techniques is a relatively new healing approach, it has been observed that after successfully applying Havening, it appears to be permanent in most cases. This is because Havening Techniques creates change on a neurological level.

Instead of your threat detection systems continually flooding your body with stress chemicals, Havening gives you the freedom to release what no longer serves you and may even be causing lasting damage.

Growth Havening

What becomes possible when you not only heal from past wounds but also build the inner strength to prevent future traumatisation. This is exactly what Growth Havening creates, a resilient neurobiological landscape where your capacity for joy, confidence, and peace continues to expand.

Your brain has an incredible capacity to not just heal, but to strengthen. Through Growth Havening, we naturally amplify positive emotional states, eg, joy, peace, confidence, love and hope. This creates a more resilient foundation that lowers the likelihood of future traumatisation and increases your capacity to bounce back from adversity.

How We Build Your Resilience Together

Growth Havening begins in our first session and becomes woven throughout your entire healing journey. Sometimes we use Affirmational Havening, where you focus on positive beliefs about yourself while applying Havening touch, encoding these truths into your neural patterns. Other times we practice Hopeful Havening, connecting you with your vision for a beautiful future while your brain consolidates this hope into lasting resilience.

Outcome Havening helps you visualize how the positive changes you're experiencing will transform your life's trajectory. You might picture yourself confidently navigating situations that once felt impossible, feeling the joy and peace of that reality while applying the calming touch.

Between sessions, self-Havening becomes your powerful tool for continuing to amplify these positive states at your own pace. You can strengthen any emotional quality you wish to cultivate, simply by focusing on it while applying Havening touch.

You’re Ready to Heal

Whether you're ready to choose healing today or tomorrow, Havening offers a gentle, scientifically-grounded approach. Trust your instincts as you consider your healing journey moving forward.

Your healing capacity includes not just releasing what no longer serves you, but actively creating what does.
