Etymology
The term 'havening' was coined in the early 2000s by Dr. Ronald Ruden, a neuroscientist and psychotherapist. It combines the word 'haven', reflecting a sense of refuge and safety, with the act of 'doing' or 'creating' healing. Dr. Ruden developed this technique by integrating principles from neuroscience, psychology, and touch therapy, aiming to provide a tool for people to alleviate emotional pain. The approach draws from the body's natural responses and aims to rewire the brain's response to traumatic memories, making it a more recent addition to the field of psychological therapies.
