Havening is a psycho-sensory approach that uses the Havening Touch™ and pleasant distraction to change the landscape of the brain.

So if you are not living life to your full potential, or if you are stressed, anxious,  lack confidence, sad, or suffering from phobias and PTSD, or where the past is intruding on the present creating limiting beliefs and triggering you, then The Havening Techniques ® has been designed to help you.

Dr Ronald Ruden has discovered that neuroscience has shown us how it is possible to modify the encoding from a stressful or traumatic event, the memory will be de-traumatized and will permanently remove its negative effects from both our psyche and our body.

Imagine being able to use this simple self-soothing tool and eliminate upsets in your life. This neuroscience-based approach can alter thoughts, moods, emotions, and behaviours rapidly and release “feel good” chemicals in the brain alongside delta waves – so you can feel calm again and heal from within.

So how does this neuroscience-based tool relate to our coaching practice?

I don’t know about you but a lot of my clients set motivational goals and yet the inner stuff gets in the way of the outer stuff and it is these blocks that hold them back from stepping into their compelling future.

As coaches we have several tools at our disposal to eliminate these blocks which may come from NLP, Mindfulness, Gestalt, CBT, Psychodynamics and the list goes on depending on where our niche and coach training, background, and experience sits.

All of this is great and so helpful for our clients, and yet, in all of my years as a coach I have never come across something so fast, gentle on the client, and effective with a clear neuroscientific mechanism as The Havening Techniques®.

Paul McKenna does come into the story, which I will hold for another day. We know that he is a master practitioner in NLP and Hypnotherapy and what is little known is that he is also a master practitioner in Havening.

 To quote Paul directly about the power of Havening he says, “I eventually began working with Dr Ronald Ruden, who was trying to find his own version of a “magic bullet for change”. He turned out to be the rarest of doctors – not only open-minded and with a distinguished background in neuroscience. After a seven-year study involving brain scans, he developed a new set of protocols that worked better than anything I’ve ever come across before.”

And this is what I have also found as a coaching practitioner which is why I am so motivated to let you know about The Havening Techniques®. And yes it is a technique and not a therapy and so useful in our practice for working on limiting beliefs such as not being good enough, imposter syndrome, lack of confidence, taking our leadership to the next, level, whether in delivering presentations, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotional intelligence. Any area where our past is intruding on our present causing us to be in survival mode and yet at the same time keeping us small and limited.

To know I have this technique as part of my coaching toolkit through qualifying as a Certified Havening Techniques® Practitioner, is a dream come true for me and my clients.
