Experience the Havening Technique—an innovative therapy that actively engages touch, eye movements, and sensory input to help you take control of your stress, anxiety, and discomfort.
The Havening Technique is an innovative therapy that uses touch, eye movements, and sensory input to help you manage stress, anxiety, and discomfort. Originally known as amygdala therapy, it was developed with the belief that it changes how the brain’s amygdala processes emotions. This technique creates an internal safe haven, allowing you to reprocess and eventually overcome emotional and physical pain.
What makes the Havening Technique unique is its versatility. You can practice it on yourself or have someone else guide you through the process. By fostering self-compassion, kindness, and self-care, this technique empowers you to self-soothe and manage challenging emotions.
While gently rubbing your arms and shoulders, breathe calmly and repeat aloud, “calm and relax,” for 1–2 minutes.
Picture a peaceful scene in your mind. Stroke the top of your forehead and gently move your hands down the sides of your face, as you would comfort someone you care about.
Continue rubbing your arms and shoulders while slowing your breath
Rub your palms together, then stroke the palm of one hand with the other in a gentle back-and-forth motion.
Imagine self-compassion as a color. While performing the arm and shoulder rub, visualize this color enveloping your body. Continue gentle strokes on your forehead, face, and palms, focusing on the color of kindness
Yes! I hate spam too 😉
