Havening and Amnanda with Gudrun Wiedemann

22/07/2025

Trauma has many aspects, and when we can reset the receptors that cause triggering, everything changes. .. This is where Havening comes into it's own. It is designed to help process trauma encoded memory, so one is no longer triggered... and when this old wound is touched, we can remember the event, but are not feeling all the pain it inflicted on us.
I was sceptical about the claims. It sounded too good to be true... and when I heard Paul McKenna speak about Havening I had to check it out. I never looked back. Havening isn't a magic bullet for all things trauma, but a crucial technique to reduce or eliminate the devestating symptoms of (C)PTSD, such as overwhelming emotions, anxiety, fears, hypervigilance, panic attacks, phobias... they all originate from the mechanismn of triggering and how trauma encoded memory is stored in the brain.
And regular selfhavening supports nervous system regulation and has been shown to build nervous system resilience.

Trauma has many aspects, and whilst Talk Therapy can be helpful for many who are affected by trauma, different approaches address different aspects.
Havening is designed to "reset" the receptors in the brain that causes false alarms (triggering) and in turn address symptoms like anxiety, fears, distressing emotions, panic attacks, (C)-PTSD. Once those aspects have been addressed anything else will be so much easier to work with, as the emotional charge is low or gone and the memory is logged in the brain as a past event that is complete (vs, when people are triggered, the brain is not able to differentiate between the past and the present, and time seems to collapse, and people respond to the present based on unprocessed old trauma memory)
I know Havening sounds way too be good to be true - and I was sceptical when I first came across it - to be proven wrong.
The developer, Dr Ronald Ruden has found a simple yet effective way to hack the brain to end the negative downwards spiral of triggering and PTSD, and give clients a tool they can use for themselves outside of sessions, when they feel triggered or use it to build nervous system resilience.

This is what many people don't understand about trauma - the brain becomes hijacked when triggered and the person relives what they felt in a previous traumatic experience. Besser Van der Kolk explains it well... and did you know, that Havening is designed to eliminate/strongly reduce triggering.
It is based on science, hacking the mechanism that creates false alarms.
I thought it sounds to good to be true, and it took me 4 years until I checked it out. It changed my life, breaking the negative downwards spiral of PTSD, regaining my agency, nervous system resilience... and yes, adding Havening to my qualifications.

So very true, and this also holds for our "inner child". When we get really scared and triggered because of what we experienced as a child, our survival brain kicks in, and activates old trauma patterns... With that one often sees age related behaviour of the younger version of oneself, their coping mechanisms... This has different expressions - between full regression where there is no awareness that what caused the triggering was the last drop that made the barrel overflow. and all the old unprocessed emotions emerge and engulf the person.... to an awareness that one is triggered and that one needs to reach out for help to process the trauma memory...
People who have learnt to do self-havening have a big advantage here, they have learnt a surprisingly simple tool to support nervous system regulation to help themselves to bring their nervous system back into their "window of tolerance" ( brain regions that were highjacked by the survival response come back online and we have clarity and agency) This can be powerful to break the negative downwards spiral of repeated triggering. Regular self-havening has been shown to build nervous system resilience. .. and a Havening session is a powerful and fast tool to integrate unprocessed trauma memory that causes triggering.
Havening isn't like ongoing psychotherapy, a single session can make a big difference.

Letting go, finding closure from.unfinished relationships can be tough. Often there is a focus on forgiveness...
Havening can help you to move forwards without "the other person" being involved.

People pleasing is a survival strategy, and usually has a trauma imprint(s). Havening can help to undo this survival pattern.

This is also true for our "inner child".
Havening has many tools, to address the emotional/ psychological content of past encoded trauma... and helps clients to find self- compassion and self- love.

Accessing different parts of us can be so powerful.
Our inner child wants to be protected, held, supported... and the only viable way to meet this need is for our adult parts stepping in.
This comes up in sessions so often, and I encourage clients to use Havening touch when reassuring their younger parts as a self- havening practice.
