The neuroscience of removing trauma, pain and distress.. Permanently.

Havening Techniques® is a revolutionary therapy for healing and transformation. This cutting-edge approach, known as Amygdala Depotentiation, swiftly deactivates traumatic memories stored in the limbic system. As a certified practitioner, I can guide you through this transformative process, releasing the negative effects of past experiences and enabling a fresh start.

Havening Techniques offer rapid and effective healing for anxiety, rumination, and negative responses. If you seek an alternative to traditional talk therapy, consider this approach.

Developed by Dr. Ronald A. Ruden M.D., Ph.D. and Steven J. Ruden D.D.S., ICF/ACC, Havening Techniques have been changing lives for over 20 years. This gentle and client-centered method removes traumatic memories underlying anxiety, fear, and stress-related disorders, making your healing journey smoother and more efficient.

This unique method works by altering the brain chemistry and speed of brain waves to dissolve the traumatic memories that are held in the brain. The result is a stronger, more optimistic nervous system and a brighter, more hopeful future. Havening has been proven to not only remove the traumatic core but also to completely alter the biological structure of the brain.

What happens after a Havening session?

Once you've undergone a Havening session, you'll notice a marked difference in how you feel. The block, trauma, stuck emotion, nervousness, or distressing memory will no longer hold the same power over you. It will seem like a distant memory that is no longer emotionally charged. Instead, you'll feel detached, safe, calm, more in control, and happier. The biological structure of your brain has been permanently altered, so you'll never again experience the same level of distress from that memory or experience. With Havening, you'll be well on your way to living a life free from negative past experiences and empowered to reach your full potential.

The Self-Havening Touch Process: A Self-Care Tool for Managing Emotional Distress.

Self-Havening is a powerful technique that can produce significant results if applied with discipline, self-awareness, and a willingness to confront unpleasant emotions. It is particularly effective in managing acute negative emotions such as anger, sadness, jealousy, and grief, as well as compulsive thoughts and behaviours like hair-pulling and anxiety-inducing imaginations, general anxiety, panic attacks, and chronic physical pain.

The touch process is a crucial component of Havening Techniques, and can be performed by individuals themselves or with the assistance of a practitioner.

As a practitioner, I often teach my clients the art of Self-Havening as a self-soothing tool. This technique can be used during times of stress or as part of a daily meditation practice. The Self-Havening Touch Process is a valuable tool to have in your self-care arsenal."
