About Event Havening

Have you ever wished for a way to lessen the weight of distressing memories or events? Well, that’s where Self Havening comes in, a self-help method inspired by the therapeutic practice of Havening, devised by Dr. Ronald Ruden. Havening entails a unique approach – touching specific points on your body while recalling a traumatic incident or negative occurrence. The ultimate goal is to disrupt the neural pathways tied to those negative experiences and minimize their emotional toll.

Self Havening entails touching your hands, arms and face while concentrating on a troubling memory or event. The rationale behind this technique is to interrupt the neural pathways associated with that negative event, thereby reducing its emotional impact. It can also be combined with humming and counting backwards, which has a similar affect in the brain.

Here’s how it works: When we undergo traumatic or negative events, our brains forge neural pathways that can be triggered by various cues like sights, sounds, or scents. These pathways can lead to a host of unpleasant emotions – fear, anxiety, anger, to name a few. Self Havening takes aim at these pathways. By gentle touches on your body, you can cultivate a sense of tranquility and relaxation, effectively diminishing the hold of negative events on your emotional well-being. This practice can even help construct fresh neural pathways linked to positive emotions and experiences.

Incorporating Self Havening into your routine might just be the empowering tool you’ve been seeking to unburden yourself from the weight of emotional distress. Give it a try and pave the way for a more balanced and emotionally resilient you!
