Havening Techniques are a remarkable, neuroscience-based technique for rapidly treating emotional problems, anxiety, PTSD, phobias and some cases of chronic pain. The breakthrough is the discovery of a molecular mechanism that can rapidly and permanently erase traumatic memories,alter core beliefs and build resilience and wellbeing.
The trainer, Dr Robin Youngson, is an anaesthetic specialist, author, speaker, campaigner, and renowned international health leader. He is quitting his anaesthetic work to do Havening full time -practice, training and research.
Applicants may become Certified Havening Practitioners by completing an intensive two-day course, 30 supervised case histories, and a science exam.
The next training is in Raglan, the weekend of 28/29th March.
Full details about Havening Techniques and the training are found here.
