"Havening Techniques® engages our inherent biological system to permanently heal, strengthen and empower our minds and bodies." Ronald A. Ruden M.D.,Ph.D
The Havening Techniques® have been developed by Ronald A. Ruden M.D.,Ph.D. and his brother Steven J. Ruden, D.D.S., ICF/ACC.
The Havening Techniques® are powerful tools that can be used to alleviate the consequences of traumatic or stressful events.
Havening or Delta Techniques® is a method which is designed to change the brain to de-traumatize the memory and remove its negative effects from both our psyche and body. These techniques have been developed and refined over the last fifteen years. The first official training occurred May 2013 in the UK. Now we have grown and spread to all corners of the world.
What is Havening®? The Havening Techniques® is a method, which is designed to change the brain to de-traumatize the memory and remove its negative effects from both our psyche and body. As part of its protocol The Havening Techniques uses the sensory input of human touch as a therapeutic tool which we have identified as Havening Touch®. The process of the Havening Technique requires touch. The decision of who should provide the touch must be made jointly. For guidelines Please see The Havening Techniques educational materials and certification process. (Learn more here)
Is Havening® Permanent? It’s not possible to provide any guarantees but once Havening® is successful it has shown to be permanent in most cases. This is because Havening® is believed to alter the biological structure of the brain. The return of symptoms implies either the traumatic core has not yet been found or the problem has been encoded in a different way. In particular, addictive and obsessive/compulsive behaviors, certain pain syndromes and vasovagal (e.g. fainting) issues often need reinforcement or cannot be treated with the Havening Techniques® at the present time. No therapy works for all problems, but Havening® is demonstrating that it’s possible to successfully treat disorders that have not been resolved by western medicine.
Although the Havening ® Techniques appear to have promising emotional, mental, and physical health benefits, they have yet to be fully researched by the Western academic, medical, and psychological communities and, therefore may be considered experimental. The Havening Techniques® are self- regulated and they are considered alternative or complementary healing methods in the United States.
What Types of Problems Can Havening® be Used for? The consequences of traumatic encoding can be physical and psychological.
