And the Havening Technique helps you heal from them via synaptic depotentiation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think of it as the pathway that generates symptoms or feelings. So the Havening Techniques are designed to disrupt this pathway. In other words, they help you clear any past limiting experiences holding you back in the present.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike these mainstream methods, such as talking therapy or medication, the Havening Techniques can enter the mind and the brain for therapeutic purposes through Havening touch (yes, a simple touch!), activation, and distraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-havening-technique-steps\">The Havening Technique steps:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Recall traumatic memory<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rub arms, palms, and face (using Havening touch)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create a distraction by visualizing activities and counting<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prior to the three steps, you want to scale your response to the memory from 1-10, where 1 is feeling calm and confident, and 10 is feeling fear and anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the session, you want to scale your response again to see if the trauma is completely gone or diminished.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-i-do-havening-to-myself\">Can I do Havening to myself?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, the Havening Technique is a simple process and easy to learn. But it takes some practice and skill to learn how to locate the core elements of a traumatic event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-does-it-actually-work\">Does it actually work?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scientific studies show that Havening works extremely well in the treatment of trauma and stress disorders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s no clear answer since it\u2019s a comparatively new way (less than two decades) to heal emotional traumas and help individuals become more resilient to stress, primarily based on empirical evidence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.itmedicalteam.pl\/articles\/impact-of-a-singlesession-of-havening.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2015 study<\/a>, 27 healthcare professionals who suffered from depression or anxiety reported general improvement in their symptoms and work performance after one session.<br><br>Although their results sound promising, experts have yet to run high-quality controlled trials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-to-start-nbsp\">Where to Start&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, be open-minded to learning this new healing modality. If you want to use it as a self-help tool, start with a less traumatic event or experience to work on. It can be any area of your life where you feel blocked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Second, learn the technique by following the Havening Technique meditations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you need a little help, you can find the Havening Technique meditation series by Paul McKenna on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindvalley.com\/apps\/?utm_source=blog_inline_link&amp;utm_campaign=app_meditations&amp;utm_medium=end_of_article&amp;otag=mv_blog_app\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mindvalley App<\/a>, which is available for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stress and anxiety are a lot to handle.
