Havening Techniques®
How I can help
Havening Techniques are an astonishingly simple set of techniques for clearing negative emotions like:
- fear
- anxiety
- anger
- jealousy and shame
– and for developing positive emotions. They work through the body’s own systems for calming yourself – i.e., the power of touch – and they are something I can teach you to use for yourself. If you are a golfer, you can use havening to overcome the “yips”!
I have been a registered practitioner of Havening Techniques since 2016. You can find my profile on havening.org here – Roger Gilbert
More about havening techniques
We have all experienced the fight or flight response – the feelings of anger, fear or anxiety which arise when we feel under threat. The fight or flight response is initiated by the amygdala, a small area of the brain which has a primary role in the processing of memory, decision making and emotional reactions. Sometimes those feelings of anger, fear or anxiety can become a problem – if they become habitual or they are sparked off inappropriately. If that arises, the question is how to turn off the negative feelings. You have probably experienced for yourself that logic doesn’t work, and that is where havening comes in.
Havening is the use of the power of touch to switch off negative emotions. More specifically the stroking of upper arms, face and hands – which are all things which we do instinctively and naturally. And what makes havening really useful is that it is something we can learn to do for ourselves.
Havening techniques are the result of years of study and clinical work by Dr Ron Ruden, a physician in New York, and his twin brother Stephen.
I saw Roger for help following a bereavement. I found that the Havening Technique helped me to feel relaxed and far more settled in my mind about the situation. Nine months later I am still feeling the benefits. I found Havening easy to learn, very calming and relaxing and it really works!
