Havening Techniques™

The information contained on this website and accompanying blog is educational in nature and is provided only as general information and is not medical or psychological advice.

You understand by viewing this website you will also be introduced to the Havening Techniques (“HT”), an innovative healing approach developed and created by Ronald Ruden, MD, PhD in collaboration with his brother Steven Ruden, DDS. HT can be described as a type of psychosensory therapy based on the fields of neuroscience and neurobiology which uses sensory input in order to alter thought, mood, and behavior. It is believed that when an event or experience is perceived as traumatic or stressful it becomes immutably encoded in the psyche and the body, often with life altering consequences. HT is designed to make changes in the brain in order to de-traumatize and remove from both the psyche and the body the emotional memory of a traumatic or stressful life event and its negative effects. Therefore, HT is a healing modality that is designed to help individuals overcome problems that are the consequence of traumatic or stressful encoding. HT is comprised of protocols which includes human touch as a therapeutic tool identified as Havening Touch®.

HT has three (3) distinct applications, one is for emotional disturbances, second is for wellness, stress management, and peak performance, and the third is as a self-help tool. Therefore, HT can be used within a psychotherapeutic setting with professional mental health care clinicians that have been fully trained and certified in HT. In addition, HT can be used by non-licensed practitioners as a protocol for coaching sessions, or as a tool in an allied health care practice by individuals that have been fully trained and certified in HT. HT can also be used as a self-help technique and shared with family members and friends.

Although HT appears to have promising emotional, mental, and physical health benefits, HT has yet to be fully researched by the Western academic, medical, and psychological communities and, therefore may be considered experimental. HT is self-regulated and is considered alternative or complementary to the healing arts that are licensed in the UK.
