Havening refers to a newer alternative therapy technique that incorporates distraction, touch, and eye movements. Its goal is to reduce anxiety and distress associated with negative memories. The use of therapeutic touch can help treat mental health symptoms by changing pathways in the brain linked to emotional distress.
The theory rests on the idea that touch can help boost the production of serotonin in your brain. This helps you relax and detach from an upsetting memory or experience.
The release of serotonin is said to have a soothing effect that helps relieve mental health symptoms and keep painful memories from troubling you further.
This is my video of the therapy I do called ‘Havening’. Please do this daily to see great benefits!
Havening is a psycho sensory technique that raises the feel-good chemicals in your brain on demand. It also focuses on exploring how trauma is encoded in the amygdala, the part of the brain that experiences emotions.
“In a moment of trauma encoding, the brain goes into what’s called a hyper gamma wave start, which allows the amgydala, our survivor brain, to basically latch like super glue onto a traumatic experience and say ‘I’m remembering this forever,
The Havening touch and practice creates an “exponential generation” of delta waves, which are typically generated during sleep.
“(Delta waves) are basically the anti-super glue for that traumatically encoded experience, “Those receptors go away, and the amygdala feels safe.”
I do it daily and love life so much!
