Havening utilizes a combination of distractions and specific movements Havening enables an individual to release encoded traumatic memories, reduce everyday stress or anxiety, lessen stress around upcoming events, aid in pain reduction, have better sleep and more. When we experience trauma, anxiety, pain etcetera the AMPA receptors of the amygdala becomes potentizes with neuro chemicals which encode the event into the memory centers of the brain. Havening can depotentiate the chemical reaction within the neurons of the amygdala thereby changing the memory or stress response thus reframing our physiological response to upsetting events, stress, pain etcetera.
