Do you know what ‘havening’ means? It is a new word in my dictionary, that’s why I am asking. Maybe it is also a new one for you. You know, for many of us, English is a second language, and we constantly learn… So ‘Havening’. Just hear it. And imagine a gentle touch on your skin. A touch that is full of love, trust, and compassion. A beautiful connection between two people. Havening. Heaven. Healing. A new therapy approach. And imagine an open-hearted and warm woman who shares with us her experience of working this way with her clients. Today I introduce to you: Sharna Hussain. A psychologist, a Core Energetics somatic psychotherapist, EMDR therapist, and a holotropic breathwork facilitator.

WHAT IS HAVENING THERAPY?

Havening Therapy is a new form of psychological therapy which is suitable for individuals suffering from stress, troubling memories, or problems with mood such as depression and anxiety. It was developed by Dr. Ronald Ruden, a dental surgeon from New York, with a background in hypnotherapy and coaching. He became interested in the work of Dr. Peter Levine a pioneer in body-centered trauma therapies, who developed the Somatic Experiencing (SE) technique. Dr. Ruben in recognising the effectiveness of SE set out to translate what the neuroscience could tell us about how such somatic techniques were able to produce such profoundly transformative changes for people, especially those with complex trauma. Then he created the Havening technique, a somewhat simpler version of SE.

However, Havening (like Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and Brainspotting) belongs to a new category of psychological therapies, known as ‘psycho-sensory therapy’, which all demonstrate how sensory input can change the brain, which is particularly helpful for those suffering from trauma-related conditions, as prior to their development, talk therapies had limited efficacy for such individuals. It should be noted that such somatic psychotherapy techniques have been around for over a century but have only entered the mainstream in this burgeoning age of neuroscience.
