How Does It Work?
The Havening Techniques are a healing modality that can help you to heal from the consequences of traumatic experiences. These techniques use sensory input to alter thought, mood, and behavior.
The Havening Techniques use a gentle touch of the arms, hands, and face. According to the Psychosenory Academy,
The consequences of trauma and stressful life events are stored in the brain and are activated by conscious or inadvertent recall. Once this recall occurs, symptoms are generated. This activation also makes the pathway that generates these feelings subject to disruption.
The Havening Techniques® are designed to disrupt this pathway through a process called synaptic depotentiation. The essence of how Havening works is that stimulation of skin receptors in specific areas of the body (face, shoulders and upper arms and palms of hands in particular) increases neurochemicals in the brain such as serotonin and GABA resulting in an increase in slow, low frequency brain waves. These Delta waves can help depotentiate activated AMPA receptors in post-synaptic neurons in the amygdala through dephosphorylation of those receptors due to the action of the enzyme calcineurin. Essentially the apparatus for triggering fight, flight, freeze and rage responses, is delinked from the stored memory of the traumatic event.
“Havening Techniques engages our inherent biological systems to permanently heal, strengthen and empower our minds and bodies.”
- Ronald Ruben, M.D., Ph.D.
