Havening London - Havening Guildford For Trauma, PTSD, Anxiety, Anger

How does Havening work?

Havening was developed through more than ten years of advanced neuroscientific study into trauma.

The research uncovered studies showing how traumatic events can alter the surface structure of brain cells in the limbic system.

The research also uncovered how Havening Techniques can be used to rapidly reset that surface structure, in a process known as "depotentiating the amygdala".

The memories can be delinked from the emotions, at a neurological level.

Those old events no longer need to bother you.

What will happen during my Havening appointment?

Havening has several different techniques.

The right technique will be carefully chosen for you by a Havening Certified Practitioner.

We strongly recommend only using Havening therapists who have been certified by the international Havening organisation, to ensure the correct technique is used.

At a high level, if working with a traumatic memory:

1. We will describe the Havening approach in more detail.
2. We'll ask you to briefly think of the trauma. This will be quick, but enough to surface that feeling.
3. We'll ask you to apply the Havening Touch, which is typically gentle stroking of your arms, palms or face.
4. We'll talk to you about various topics, which will not be directly related to your concern, but which are specifically designed to create fast neuronal change.

After a while, we will check on the memory again, to see how it has changed. We may repeat the process a few times, to help fully reduce negative emotions.

Clients often find their feelings rapidly ease and the traumatic memories seems more distanced.

What would that change be worth to you?
