Havening Solutions

History of care in the Western world: Pharmacology and Psychotherapy. A third pillar: Psycho-sensory; Psycho Sensory means touch. Talk therapy does not work for trauma. When a person is triggered, their prefrontal cortexes shut down; and to really do the healing work we have to be able to get into the limbic system. This is through touch. Havening Techniques was developed from over a decade of researching how our bodies and our psyche store memories; specifically traumatic memories. How the amygdala (memory storer in our brain) electrochemically “marks” specific memories so that present-moment sensory input “triggers” the fight/flight/freeze response. Havening allows us quickly and effectively to take a traumatic experience and release the traumatically encoded components so it becomes just another memory! This frees you from PTSD responses, Phobias and other anxieties impacting your life.

Havening Solutions was co-founded by two clinically trained and licensed mental health professionals. Holli Engelhart and Nicole Carreon both have private individual therapy practices in the Twin Cities metro area in MN. "With the developments in neuroscience, we have a deeper understanding on how psycho- sensory treatments provide relief and healing from trauma. When we were introduced to Havening Techniques, we knew instantly this was a game changer. A game changer in how we can provide treatment as clinicians, and a game changer for all those in the world suffering and struggling with highly charged negative experiences that continue to wreak havoc on their daily functioning. We recognize the science that has proven the efficacy of Havening Techniques, and how powerful changes within a person’s brain completely relieves them of years of emotional imprisonment.”
