The <\/span>Havening techniques<\/span> \u00ae <\/span>are <\/span>completely new method<\/span>s<\/span>, and research in the field has just begun.<\/span> Although our clients make <\/span>enthusiastic statements<\/span><\/a>, the impact is only now being documented<\/span> in clinical research worldwide.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Until these research studies are completed, Havening cannot be considered as<\/span> an <\/span>actual<\/span> treatment.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>It can only contribute to the treatment (cf. guidelines).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With “The Havening Touch”, hands are stroked over the face<\/span>, <\/span>arms<\/span> and hands<\/span>, a touch reminiscent of <\/span>a<\/span> mother’s touch <\/span>on her<\/span> baby, creating a very relaxed state <\/span>where <\/span>slow delta waves <\/span>are generated <\/span>in the brain.

Havening techniques<\/span><\/span> for different purposes<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3><\/h2><\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>

T<\/span>here are different techniques with different therapeutic applications<\/span> in<\/span> Havening<\/span>:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. For trauma, PTSD and phobias<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. For anxiety and stress<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. For self-help<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    For trauma, anxiety and stress, guided 1: 1 sessions are always recommended, which can take place online. During these sessions, you are trained in Self-Havening, which can also be used at home without the therapist, at times of inner discomfort. Self-Havening can also be done more systematically as homework <\/span>using <\/span>our series of self-help videos<\/span>, which you get access to as a client.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

    <\/div><\/div><\/div>
    <\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>
    <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    This is how a session with <\/span>Havening techniques<\/span> takes place<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2><\/h2><\/div>
    <\/div>
    <\/div><\/div>
    <\/div>
    <\/div>
    <\/div>
    <\/div>

    Your certified therapist does not need to know the content of your trauma, as with Havening you just have to feel. There is no conversation during the session<\/span>s<\/span>. <\/span>First, y<\/span>ou first choose whether the therapist<\/span>,<\/span> or you<\/span>,<\/span> should treat yourself to “the Havening touch”. For online sessions, you do it yourself. It <\/span>too <\/span>has a <\/span>pleasant<\/span> effect.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    The gentle, constant touch puts you in a very relaxed and slightly drowsy state <\/span>lie in<\/span> REM sleep, just before you fall into deep sleep.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    During <\/span>the <\/span>continued touch, you are asked to recall the trauma to \u201cfeel it\u201d and give it a score of 1-10 on a subjective discomfort scale. SUD 10 is the worst feeling imaginable. Soon after the recall, you are systematically interrupted with a series of concentration-demanding exercises that confuse your brain. We measure your discomfort along the way<\/span>,<\/span> wh<\/span>il<\/span>e you think briefly about the trauma.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Gradually, the emotional response to the trauma (fight, flight, freeze) changes. The brain’s biological and biochemical “mirror” changes. After a successful session, the trauma can be recalled from memory, without the associated feeling of discomfort (fight, flight, freeze). We <\/span>do <\/span>our best<\/span> to keep going until the feeling of trauma is completely gone, with a<\/span>n<\/span> SUD 0-1.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    We typically work over 3-10 sessions, depending on the number and nature of the traumas<\/span>,<\/span> as well as one\u2019s general resilience and stress level.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

    Does Havening give side effects?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

    No side effects have been reported from the now hundreds of certified therapists.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    If I have severe symptoms of anxiety, depression or suicidal thoughts<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

    The <\/span>Havening techniques are<\/span> not a medical treatment and should not replace the doctor. You may need medication. If you have suicidal thoughts or severe symptoms of anxiety or depression, ALWAYS contact your docto<\/span>r or the psychiatric emergency services<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Can I go to my own psychologist or psychiatrist at the same time?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

    The <\/span>Havening techniques<\/span> nicely complement<\/span> a <\/span>regular<\/span> course with a psychologist, psychiatrist or psychotherapist. The technique has been used by doctors as well as psychologists in the USA, UK, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Can I use <\/span>the <\/span>Havening techniques<\/span> with evidence-based EMDR?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

    We do not recommend this, as the methods have much in common (formation of delta waves in the brain).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    How is <\/span>the <\/span>Havening techniques<\/span> explained scientifically?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

    The <\/span>Havening <\/span>technique<\/span>s<\/span>\u2019<\/span>\u00ae inventor, doctor Ronald Ruden, MD, PhD, has explained the effect of the treatment right down to the cell and molecular level<\/span> in a scientific article<\/span>. It is an interesting article that describes how the <\/span>primeval<\/span> brain gets its response to trauma recoded by “depotentiation”. Read the article <\/a><\/span>(1<\/a>)<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    What other clinical research supports the efficacy model?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

    Research shows <\/span>that the emotional response to<\/span> trauma is particularly open to influence right after the trauma has been recalled from memory <\/span>(2<\/a>). <\/span>Research also indicates that touch has a positive effect on the processing of emotions <\/span>(3<\/a>).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Is there evidence that Havening works?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

    The first clinical research trials of the method <\/span>have <\/span>show<\/span>n<\/span> a positive effect on general well-being <\/span>(4<\/a>), <\/span>phobias and anxiety <\/span>(5<\/a>) <\/span>as well as pain <\/span>(6<\/a>).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Are there more clinical trials with <\/span>the <\/span>Havening techniques<\/span> now?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

    Yes<\/span>, further<\/span> clinical studies <\/span>are taking<\/span> place<\/span> during 2020<\/span>. <\/span>In particular, the <\/span>trauma psychologist, Dr. Kate Truitt is researching Havening at her trauma center. She was previously traumatized and now cured with <\/span>the <\/span>Havening techniques<\/span>. As of May 2020, only two research articles have been published.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    What does <\/span>a <\/span>traumatized policeman <\/span>have to <\/span>say about <\/span>the <\/span>Havening technique<\/span>s<\/span> to BBC, London?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

    Watch this interesting TV report on YouTube: “BBC Breaking news: Policeman gets help for PTSD with <\/span>the <\/span>Havening technique<\/span>s<\/span>“<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uM9gmgBF3m0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

    What do scientists who have had their own traumas cured do with <\/span>Havening techniques<\/span>?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

    Two researchers have<\/span>,<\/span> independently <\/span>of each other, <\/span>dedicated their professional lives to <\/span>the <\/span>Havening techniques<\/span>\u00ae: trauma psychologist Dr. Truitt, USA<\/a>, as well as neuroscience literature researcher and civil engineer, Marianne Sandberg MSc., Founder of <\/span>the <\/span>REbrain Clinic.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
