For some people their brain has become stuck in a pattern of high alert and sometimes certain situations or circumstances, can trigger off what might seem like a disproportionate response such as angry outbursts, overwhelming sadness, anxiety or even panic attacks.

Havening is a group of powerful techniques that have emerged from the field of neuroscience. The can be used to help identify the root cause of, and then permanently remove, unhelpful and unwanted, emotional and physical responses to events and experiences.

It is the removal of these responses that allows for a much more expansive life to emerge.

Havening is known as a psycho sensory therapy, which means that is uses a sensory input, in this case touch. The touch is applied in a stroking movement because it is nurturing for us. This type of touch also sends reassuring signals to our brain giving us the instruction that we are safe.

Our body is an electrochemical organ and so the reassuring signal created by the Havening Touch creates a change in the electrical and chemical status in our brain. This, effectively, rewires the brain to switch off the alarm detector that have been associated with the memory. When this is done, the brain responds differently.

The memory is still there. It just doesn’t upset you anymore. You feel safer about that experience. You find a Haven for it. A safe place.
