Live on Zoom

Fourteen Wednesday mornings, September 30 – January 13, 2026–27

10AM- 12:30PM (Eastern time)

The Havening Techniques® can help with many issues, including distressing memories, trauma, fear and
pain. Havening is a psycho-sensory technique that uses the sensory input of touch plus imagination and
verbal interaction to create lasting change by utilizing current neuroscience, assembled by its creator Dr.
Ronald Ruden, PhD, MD.

More about Havening…

Havening targets encoded traumas by disconnecting related painful emotional components from traumatic
memories. The distress of re-experiencing an event is mitigated through a process called depotentiation.
Using the Havening touch protocol, creates delta waves in the brain. These delta waves facilitate an
electrochemical production of the enzyme calcineurin, which removes the AMPA receptors from the
neurons holding the trauma in the amygdala.

You  can take  the Havening Techniques® curriculum in an intensive program.   That’s the way we used to do them and most people still do.

But we’re doing it differently.

Over 4 months, we’ll meet LIVE each week for 90 minutes—giving you time to

Learn | Practice | Integrate
and return with questions, refine your skills, and practice again.

Because knowing a technique isn’t the same as having it ‘in your bones’ when you’re sitting with a client.

Two Trainers. Two Perspectives. One Integrated Learning Experience.

Doug O’Brien brings decades of mastery in NLP, Neo-Ericksonian Hypnosis, coaching and Havening.

Feather Windwalker brings years of Havening practice, training facilitation and mentorship—and a passion for helping practitioners understand not only how Havening works, but how to make it their own.
