What’s the evidence for Havening?

​

Havening has a growing body of empirical evidence and published research to show that it successfully works on trauma, such as phobias, traumatic memories, experiences and events through to the PTSD. However it’s not just for trauma and negative past experiences; it is proving highly effective in improving resilience and wellbeing, leading to a balanced, calm and resourceful state of mind. Please see www.havening.org website for the latest research news.

How does it work?

It works by changing the brain to de-traumatise the memory and remove its negative consequences of particular stressful life events or traumatic experiences. As part of it’s protocol, the Havening Techniques® uses the sensory input of Havening Touch® which can either be facilitated or self applied, which triggers the delta waves in the brain. The delta waves in turn prompt helpful chemical chain-reactions in the amygdala. This removes specific AMPA Receptors from the surface of neurons in the amygdala where the traumatic event is ‘stored’.  If you would like to know more about the science, white papers or the research please visit www.havening.org where we have more information available.
