The Havening methods

These are delivered in the form of applying touch therapy to your arms, hands and cheeks can be carried out by the practitioner, yourself or people close to you. This therapeutic touch sets off what can be most easily described as a natural but increased electro-chemical chain reaction in your body. It produces much higher levels of natural hormone we have in our body such as serotonin as well as sending a brain into a similar state of electrical activity as it goes into when we are asleep. This has a calming effect within your brain, gives you a sense that you are safe, whilst the particular chemicals get to work on changing the way that traumas are stored in your memory and effectively de-linking the emotional content of those traumatic memories with the rest of the experience. This leaves you with some form of the memory but without the unwanted or extreme emotional responses.

This therapy particularly affects and works on the amygdala in your brain, otherwise known as your threat detector which is responsible for fight or flight. It therefore works brilliantly with anxiety, fears and phobias, panic and other emotions that are driven by this part of the brain. Additionally the calming effects that were explained above means that it also encourages the brain and asked to be able to freely associate and undercover  and release other connected negative emotions or experiences we have had.

But it’s not just for the more negative issues! The state is induces can be similar to being a mild and gentle hypnosis whilst totally conscious of what is going on in the room and being in complete control. Some even prefer to deal with their eyes open! Regardless, what this enables is a way to deeply focus on what you want or how you want to be or feel, and this can be put to great use by focusing on creating this for yourself and giving yourself and your unconscious mind suggestions or installing directions, just as you would receive in hypnotherapy. The beauty is this is initiated and guided by you, with your practitioner there to support, guide and lead as you wish.
