What is Havening

Havening is a gentle, neuroscience-based method designed to help release stress, anxiety, traumatic memories, and emotional blocks. The word comes from “haven” – meaning “safe place” – and reflects the calm, secure inner state this technique aims to create.

Havening Techniques® were developed by neuroscientist Dr. Ronald Ruden. Through specific soothing touch (for example, on the arms, face, and hands) combined with guided imagination and mindfulness, the brain enters a state in which stressful memories can be de-linked and new, positive neural connections can form.

The goal of Havening is to calm the nervous system and strengthen emotional self-regulation. Many people describe feeling deeply relaxed, light, and safe after a session.

Havening can be helpful for:

• acute or chronic stress
• fears, phobias, and panic
• traumatic or distressing memories
• self-worth and emotional blocks
• relaxation and resilience building
