Havening Techniques ® are the most beautiful combination of ancient wisdom and neuroscience. They were borne of Dr Ronald Ruden and his twin brother Stevens’ exploration into understanding the science behind Tapping; which was founded on the wisdom of acupuncture. Havening Techniques ® are therefore the best of both worlds. They are a simple yet powerful way to learn to self-regulate, to process current distress & difficult experiences from the past, and shape the future we desire.
This video by Havening Techniques® trainer Erika Neil gives a brief introduction to Havening.
I have personally worked with many different modalities on my journey of healing from dissociative PTSD, and while each modality helped me to a certain extent, it was when I discovered Havening Techniques® that I felt truly empowered to heal my past, enjoy the present, and shape my future. The most amazing thing to me is that as a result of following the science, Ronald and Steven Ruden have gifted us with a modality that can bring joy into our lives while we are healing deep trauma; which until I discovered Havening, I would never have thought was possible. One of my early clients commented that her life had become so hard and she never played, and it was wonderful to be playful and creative with the distraction element of Havening Techniques®; which enables us to heal even our most difficult past experiences while predominantly focusing on distractions that feel neutral or good to us. I am thrilled to be a certified Havening practitioner.
If you would like to have a more depth understanding of the science behind Havening Techniques® (which is not required in order to experience the benefits, but is of interest to some people), this 20 minute video by Havening Techniques ® Trainer Robin Youngson gives more in depth information.
