Havening: A Gentle Path to Healing Trauma and Restoring Peace

Havening is a gentle, trauma-informed therapy that helps you release emotional distress tied to past experiences. It uses a combination of soothing touch and eye movements to help calm your nervous system and transform how you feel about difficult memories. This process supports your brain’s natural healing ability, allowing you to feel relief and regain control without needing to revisit painful details.

How Havening is Different from EMDR

Both Havening and EMDR are grounded in the science of neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to rewire itself. They each lead to a profound sense of relief and healing. While both are powerful therapies for trauma, they work in different ways.

EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (eye movements, tapping, sound) to help reorganize traumatic memories so the brain can integrate important information—like the fact that you survived.

Havening uses soothing touch to prompt the release of delta waves, similar to those produced during deep sleep. These waves help activate the body’s natural relaxation response, calming the nervous system, easing emotional intensity, and creating a sense of peace and safety.

Havening is especially helpful for people who want a non-invasive way to relieve distress without needing to fully engage with painful memories. It’s a softer, self-soothing approach that can be used at your own pace—particularly useful if you’re feeling overwhelmed or stuck.

Who Can Benefit from Havening?

Havening is great for anyone dealing with the lasting effects of trauma, anxiety, or stress. Whether you’re struggling with past abuse, grief, panic, or just feeling emotionally stuck, Havening offers a supportive space to heal. It’s particularly helpful if you’re seeking a gentle way to manage overwhelming emotions or want a tool you can use outside of therapy to self-soothe when needed.
