High Stress Negative Life Events
What is Havening Techniques®?
Havening Techniques® is a gentle psycho-sensory therapy designed to help your brain heal from high-stress negative life event 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 high-stress negative life event, 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 can begin naturally as you learn to work with your brain's built-in ability to heal from high-stress, negative life event experiences.
Why Threat Detection Systems Are Important
The creation of threat detection systems by encoding information from stress events is the brain’s natural way of protection. It’s important to remember this threat detection encoding is meant to keep you safe by remembering potential dangers. While this system creates the necessary fight-or-flight response during high-stress negative life events, it can continue creating intense stress responses even when you're safe.
When these high-stress negative life event 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. Havening
disconnects the threat detection system and creates a more resilient foundation, making the brain more resistant to the negative effects of high-stress events.
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 touching your face and rubbing your hands together.
During a Havening session, you can imagine yourself comfortably creating a safe healing space where several 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
One of the most powerful things about Havening is the lasting results. While Havening Techniques is a relatively new healing approach, it has been observed that after successfully applying Havening, the results appear to be permanent in most cases. This is because Havening Techniques creates change on a neurological level.
Growth Havening
Your brain has an incredible capacity to heal and 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 negative effects from future high-stress negative life events.
How We Build Your Resilience Together
Growth Havening begins in our first session and is woven throughout. We use Affirmational Havening, focusing on positive beliefs about yourself while applying Havening touch, encoding these truths into your neural pathways. We practice Hopeful Havening, building resilience and transitioning to a more wanted belief system or outcome. Outcome Havening is used to visualize and encode wanted positive changes and future outcomes.
Between sessions, self-Havening becomes your tool to amplify these positive states; use as a coping strategy for stress and overwhelm, and aid in any situation where down-regulation of emotions is useful, for example, before bed as a sleep aid.
