Havening and Amnanda with Gudrun Wiedemann

12/01/2026

Sadly, "having to do it alone" is a common trauma imprint when we experienced relational trauma... or there was no support from those close to us after other trauna. It keeps those affected locked in a dynamic where there seems no help.
Being aware that this is a common trauma imprint can help people to reach out another time.
Havening goes beyond logical understanding, and targets the parts of the brain that sound the alarm based on past traumatic experiences, even so we are safe in the here and now.
A single Havening session can be a game changer to break the negative downwards spiral of (C)-PTSD.
Give me a call if you like to find out more.

I wouldn't use the word "mindset" .. what I see is reactivity that is driven by not feeling safe - which is consistent with trauma encoding in the brain - and this encoding doesn't respond to logic... it is driven by powerful survival mechanisms.
Havening has a lot to offer to help with reprocessing the emotional charge associated with the encoding of past stressful/traumatic events and can help clients to find safety within. This shifts everything - when we feel safe, we don't have to defend/fight/flee/freeze. It creates the safety so one can respond.

What do you wish for yourself for 2026?
If better nervous system regulation and or resilience is on your wish list, do get in touch - Havening has a lot to offer.
Like myself, many who come across Havening, think that Havening Techniques is way too simple to have such a profound impact on people's life who is affected by crippling anxiety, panic attacks, flashbacks... the entire range of symptoms of (c)-ptsd.
I was proven wrong - actually Havening has changed my life - Helping me to break the negative downwards spiral that repeated triggering can create, and replacing it with a more regulated and resilient nervous system. Not the exhausting mind over matter approach, but a profound level of integration at the body's level that reduces or eliminates triggering. Havening is also an effective tool where one can help oneself when feeling triggered, so agency to respond can be regained rather than react or worse go into collapse or freeze. On my own journey of recovery, I have studied many different approaches, as trauma is a complex topic. Havening specializes in reducing/eliminating triggers and restoring nervous system regulation.
I have added Havening to my qualifications in 2023, as I want to offer cutting edge sessions to my clients.
I know it sounds hard to believe but a single havening session can make a big difference.
Give me a call, if you like to find out more.

Our emotions are information, and holding them with compassion and understanding helps them move through.
Sometimes we are not able to do that, to process them in a constructive way and we can get stuck, either not being able to move forwards or turning guilt and shame as a destructive force on ourselves.
Havening can help to process such emotions, and support you in your next steps.
Why not give me a call, so have a chat how Havening can help you move forwards.

Releasing guilt does not mean pretending the past did not happen or excusing what hurt you or others. It means choosing to look at your mistakes with honesty instead of punishment, understanding instead of shame. Growth asks you to take responsibility without carrying the weight of self-condemnation forever.

When you hold your experiences with compassion, you allow learning to replace self-blame. You honor how far you have come while still respecting the lessons that shaped you. Grace is not denial. It is maturity.

You are allowed to move forward without dragging your past behind you.

Can you imagine 2026 being the year of the start of your life without triggering/ anxiety/panic attacks ruling your life?
For many feeling triggered or experiencing a panic attacks feel shameful, like this shouldn't happen, that they are irrational... this is the logical brain speaking - but the area of the brain that sounds the false alarm isn't responding to logic.
Havening has found a fairly simple but highly effective way to reduce or eliminate triggering/anxiety and panic attacks.
One session can make a huge difference to someone's life, Sometimes things are more complex and clients benefit from a few more sessions.
How could your life be different if you dare to give Havening a go?

For me owning our story is accepting where we are, not living by "shoulds" and "could have's". Our feet on the ground, taking the next possible step(s)... and yes, getting there requires us to be in touch with our feelings such as sadness, grief, disappointment, anger...
Havening can help process distressing memories and emotions,so you can live life in the here and now.
Havening sessions cover a lot of ground in relatively little time. A single havening session can have a huge lasting impact, changing the course of your recovery from debilitating symptoms of unprocessed trauma and ( c)-ptsd.
