Havening Techniques® Psychosensory Academy®1How Learning Takes PlaceHopeful Havening TechniquePrinciples Increasing hope, activating existing receptors, activating imagination, generating DOSE, aiding LTP and LTD (see Project 1). See the PDF about Hopeful Havening. When To Use Listen to the tonality, speed, pitch of your own/or the other person’s voice, breathing patterns, body softness, facial expressions, symmetry, movements and notice all aspects of the presenting CASEs. Hopeful Havening is a versatile process and has multiple uses. It can be used at the start of sessions, in the middle, at the end and for self-led projects (homework). Because it can be used in such a range of different ways there are various approaches and possible outcomes. Explore using Hopeful Havening in different ways yourself before sharing HH with others. Start of Session -when you observe that people have low or no hope -when people have a fixed idea that their problem, illness, diagnosis, trait, brain type, upbringing, nationality, race, sex, looks, or block of some sort is permanent -when clients can't think of a related EMLI or won’t engage in considering looking for EMLI -when people have dreams, and hopes and seek some coaching forward to help them Middle of session -when people are not sharing true concerns -when fixed blocks appear -when hopes, dreams or aims are accessed End of session -when people start considering hopeful possibilities -when people have dreams, and hopes Self-led projects (homework) -building on hope -helping structuring the actions needed to move forward -starting to make using positive reinforcement a habit -increasing receptors (LTP and LTD) and increasing how often DOSE is cued Message

Havening Techniques® Psychosensory Academy®2Hopeful Havening Technique Starting Point - Unwanted CASE Cue for unwanted CASE? What is the cue for this unwanted CASE? Is it a stimuli, a scent, a texture, a pattern, a taste, words, a story, are you recalling an event, or thinking of a belief, or an idea? Use the cue and Question, Observe, Calibrate, Track and Utilise (QOCTU) the unwanted CASE Cognitive - Autonomic - Somatosensory - Emotions - Approaches - Using Opposites In most cases the client can consider opposites themselves. If the client is truly stuck help them consider what the opposite of this CASE would be. Cognitive - Autonomic - Somatosensory - Emotions -

Havening Techniques® Psychosensory Academy®3Experience Recalled Often during this process of calmly and objectively considering unwanted responses and the related cues an insight occurs and an EMLI is recalled. Question, Observe, calibrate, Track and Utilise the CASE that is accessed. Cognitive - Autonomic - Somatosensory - Emotions - The practitioner thanks the client and suggests that Event Havening would be perfect and is a comfortable process. The client uses Event Havening (see EH sheet). The elements of the EMLI are noted. After the Event Havening process the cue is used again and the new response noted. The survival responses have ceased and Cognitive - Autonomic - Somatosensory - Emotions - Hopeful Havening Technique The information gathered through exploring opposites can be returned to and used. The practitioner explains the technique and client agrees to use Havening Touch and explore using this technique Client says - Hopeful.... And the practitioner makes suggestions which cue new ideas At some point the client starts to lead... Practitioner.....supports Client starts to come up with ideas and builds many more sentences prefaced with hopeful. The practitioner ask the client to think about their aim now and uses the cue.

Havening Techniques® Psychosensory Academy®4The practitioner ask the client what they notice now. Cognitive - Autonomic - Somatosensory - Emotions - They can now build in some practical stages, and a parallel project for balance.

Havening Techniques® Psychosensory Academy®5Hopeful Havening Technique Example Starting Point - at the Start of the Session - Unwanted CASE Identify the unwanted CASE What is the cue for this unwanted CASE? Is it a stimuli, a scent, a texture, a pattern, a taste, words, a story, are you recalling an event, or thinking of a belief, or an idea? An example for reference The cue is ‘the thought of having to do public speaking at work’. Client believes he has always ‘been fearful of public speaking’. Use the cue and Question, Observe, Calibrate, Track and Utilise (QOCTU) the unwanted CASE An example of information gathered from this process, for reference Cognitive - in relation to public speaking - glossophobia (no images, wall, block) hard to talk, pessimistic, imagining failing (unspoken hopeless), would prefer to disappear or be invisible (escape) Autonomic - sympathetic (tight feet, dry mouth) Somatosensory - lump in throat, feet feel tight, rising flush of heat from feet to head, feels small Emotions - shame, regret, (hopelessness), dread Approaches - Using Opposites In most cases the client can consider opposites themselves. If the client is truly stuck help them consider what the opposite of this CASE would be. Continuing our example for reference Cognitive - optimistic, hopeful (many images, clear view, upbeat steady helpful internal dialogue, or motivating tune or lyric looping) easy seeming and passionate to share Autonomic - parasympathetic (soft body, relaxed mouth) Somatosensory - easy flow, body feels balanced, normal size and comfortable in own skin Emotions - bouncy, hopeful

Havening Techniques® Psychosensory Academy®6Experience Which Fulfilled EMLI Recalled Often during this process of calmly and objectively considering unwanted responses and the related cues an insight occurs and an EMLI is recalled. Example for reference The client recalled that this ‘fear is because of my childhood experiences....’ When we explore this we note that the context was ‘growing up in an impoverished area and being told by teachers that they would amount to nothing’. When the client recalls the earliest EMLI related to this topic he observes Cognitive - is a real-seeming, coloured, focused image, the content is his girlfriend’s blushing face in the audience, and the complex content is the speaker and audience around the stage. His internal dialogue was ‘this has happened and she will leave me now’ (inescapable and loss and abandonment of EMLI). The content and complex content contains information related to the sensory input of the acoustic and sounds, scents, and sights of a school assembly hall and the feeling of the school uniform, too tight shoes and tie, and a sense that the floor was slippery hard wood. Autonomic - sympathetic (rising heat, tight feet, dry mouth) Somatosensory - lump in throat, feet feel tight, rising flush of heat from feet to head Emotions - unable to defend themselves, dread, fear of abandonment and loss of face. The practitioner thanks the client and suggests that Event Havening would be perfect and is a comfortable process. The client uses Event Havening (see EH sheet). Neutral working memory activities are chosen for the distraction element. The result of our example case is that the response (CASE) to the cue of thinking of that experience and that moment in time when the four elements came together in a flash now generates a totally different CASE. The survival responses have ceased and Cognitive - the previous image is behind white screen and can’t be reached, there is no sound. Tracking the image, he noted at one point the content faded out, the image became small and framed and he had a sense of himself as a young boy at school and this is now what he accesses, many images of himself at that time, and better times Autonomic - parasympathetic Somatosensory - feels balanced, soft, clear-headed Emotions - ‘objective, compassionate to all involved, understanding, wise’

Havening Techniques® Psychosensory Academy®7Hopeful Havening Technique The information gathered through exploring opposites can be returned to and used. The practitioner explains the technique and client agrees to use Havening Touch and explore using this technique. Simplified example for reference (each element would be built in more). Client says - Hopeful.... And the practitioner makes suggestions which cue new ideas Practitioner - that I really enjoy improv classes and learn a lot Client says - Hopeful... Practitioner - that getting advice about my clothes and hair will feel great Client says - Hopeful.. Practitioner - that using that upbeat internal sound track is really useful Client says - Hopeful Practitioner - that I can enrol this week Client - Hopeful... Practitioner - new skills are within reach and developing is fun in itself Client starts to lead...’I am hopeful....it would be amazing to feel relaxed Practitioner.....nods Client says - I do really want to share my knowledge Practitioner - yes Client now starts to come up with ideas and builds many more sentences prefaced with hopeful. The practitioner ask the client to think about their aim now and uses the cue. ‘Thinking about doing public speaking at work’ The practitioner ask the client what they notice now. Cognitive - optimistic, hopeful (many images, clear view, upbeat steady helpful internal dialogue, or motivating tune or lyric looping) easy seeming and passionate to share Autonomic - parasympathetic (soft body, relaxed mouth) Somatosensory - easy flow, body feels balanced, normal size and comfortable in own skin Emotions - bouncy, hopeful They can now build in some practical stages, and a parallel project for balance.

Havening Techniques® Psychosensory Academy®8Honing Your Skills Related to New Outcomes and Using Opposites You can use dictionaries, thesaraus and internet images searches for inspiration and material. And once you have considered the opposites, a useful process is the ‘Three-page method’. If you have used Question-sets and the client has explored CASE through focusing on one choice and experiencing Amplify Havening, you will have enough information to know how the person accesses and expresses. The illustrations show screenshots of image searches which relate to the basis of fear in our example case study and its opposite (useful material when thinking of new outcomes). The person fears public speaking (glossophobia) and the basis of this fear was that they think they are not good enough because of growing up in an impoverished area. This element contributed to the four elements of EMLI coming together (Landscape).

Havening Techniques® Psychosensory Academy®9The Three-page Method Outcomes: Creating ChangesWrite down your perception of past outcomesWrite down your fears about of possible future outcomesWrite down the frustrations and problems you experience and perceive to be happening nowWrite down what you would have loved to have happen.Write down what you would love to be experiencing now, in the present.Write down what you would love to experience and perceive in the future.Make it even more perfect.Make it even more perfect.Make it even more perfect.How to begin, see next page

Havening Techniques® Psychosensory Academy®10Exploring opposites may provide a helpful starting point. Quite often we can find it a challenge to think of how we would love our lives to be. A good way to begin this creative project is to look at the language we use to describe our perceptions, our concerns and our experiences. After writing down each stage 1. look up the words used in an online dictionary’s thesaurus. Choose an antonym (see example). Then look up the synonyms of the word. The example I give is from the section regarding present state.1. depressed - a person) in a state of unhappiness or despondency. ‘she felt lonely and depressed’.1. Write down the frustrations and problems you experience and perceive to be happening now2. Write down the opposites of the words in 1.3. Choose even more descriptive words from 2. and embellish and relate to your life.2. ANTONYM is cheerful3. SYNONYMS of cheerful are happy, jolly, merry, bright, glad, sunny, joyful, joyous, light-hearted, in good spirits, in high spirits, sparkling, bubbly, exuberant, ebullient, cock-a-hoop, elated, gleeful, breezy, airy, cheery, sprightly, jaunty, animated, radiant, smiling, grinning, laughing, mirthful, frolicsome, jovial, genial, good-humoured, happy-go-lucky, carefree, unworried, untroubled, without a care in the world, full of the joys of spring, buoyant, optimistic, hopeful, full of hope, positive, content, contented .

Havening Techniques® Psychosensory Academy®12Hopeful Havening Techniques Starting point - usually the end of session - wanted CASE Cue for wanted CASE, cue for dreams and aims What is the cue for this wanted CASE? Is it a stimulus, a scent, a texture, a pattern, a taste, words, a story, are you recalling an event, or a belief, an idea, a dream or an aim? Question, Observe, Calibrate, Track and Utilise (QOCTU) the unwanted CASE Simplified example for reference Cognitive - dreaming and aims in relation to public speaking If you are imagining an event notice the content, complex content, and context. Autonomic - excited, motivated Somatosensory - golden feeling, expansive, embodied Emotions - bouncy, hopeful Approaches Consider what practical skills could be helpful to achieve your aims Simplified example for reference Developing voice, acting and improvising classes, movement classes, image advisor Hopeful Havening Technique Practitioner explains the technique and client agrees to use Havening Touch and explore using this technique. Simplified example for reference Client says - Hopeful.... And the practitioner makes suggestions which cue new ideas and possibilities Practitioner - that I really enjoy improv classes and learn a lot Client says - Hopeful...

Havening Techniques® Psychosensory Academy®14Finding out about the client’s experience to cues and focused recalling in session.How do practitioners find this out? Paul McKenna uses questioning, observing, calibrating, tracking and utilizing in combination with gaining rapport and a sense of safety, finding out what people like, asking for focused recall and amygdala activation, and uses cues such as ‘see what you saw, hear what you heard, feel what you felt’. He is observing all elements of CASE, and how the person sounds and looks. Cognitive - cues ‘see what you saw, hear what you heard’ (accessed encoded sensory input when recalling). Note language usage and tenses used. And also he can observe and calibrate what is being accessed (submodalities, SMEACS). Autonomic - ‘feel what you felt’ and also observes, calibrates, tracks how the person looks and sounds Somatosensory - ‘feel what you felt’ Emotional - sometimes asks what the emotion is and how powerful it is. Ron uses questioning, observing, calibrating, tracking and utilizing in combination with focused recall and his checklists CASE, EMLI, content, complex content, context (understands and uses encoded sensory information and all elements of CASE either shared or observed). I use questioning, observing, calibrating, tracking and utilizing (QOCTU) in combination with Ron’s checklists CASE and EMLI (and ELFS) and I use (encoded sensory information, sub-modalities, SMEACs, Brain Art). I help the clients develop their skills at noting cues and questioning (self), observing CASE , calibrating, tracking and utilizing. And I teach what CASE is, as many people are fearful of their own responses. And often they think their responses are random, or due to being ‘broken’; and finding out how cueing works and that these are actually survival response can be a massive relief. Many practitioners only seem to ask the client to recall being distressed (general in some cases focused in others) about their Subjective units of distress.

Tony Burgess has provided lots of information for this, so do use his resources in the Primer. Take both roles - write down some ideas and then read and preface each with ‘What If?’ Havener writes down ……………….that you can learn easily Client reads and says - What if I can learn easily Havener ……….. that you will share Havening with so many people Client - what if I can share Havening with so many people QOCTU and reflect on this experience and then build on a stage (take both roles again - now see if you can produce twenty relevant and useful ideas and preface each with ‘What if’. For example Havener - ……………….that LTP will happen really quick Client What if that LTP happens really quick Havener ……….. that I know that when long-term potentiation happens I will remember easily Client What if I know that when long-term potentiation happens I will remember easily Havener - ……………….what if it’s fun! Client What if it’s fun! QOCTU and reflect on this experience and then build on a stage Write up your explorations and reflections Ifformational Havening

Airmational Havening Take both roles - for this stage observe any time you airm an element of CASE or an idea, or belief (the Havener would do this a the early stage) Then become the client and use Airmational Havening with your natural airmation. Havener (you) notices you smiling and questions what you are thinking (yourself)? You might have thought ‘wow I can do this!’ Client chants - wow I can do this! (Cognitive of CASE) Client chants - wow I can do this! (Cognitive of CASE) Client chants - wow I can do this! (Cognitive of CASE) Client chants - wow I can do this! (Cognitive of CASE) Havener questions - what do you notice now? Client - I feel sunny and expansive (somatosensory of CASE) Client - I feel sunny and expansive (somatosensory of CASE) Client - I feel sunny and expansive (somatosensory of CASE) Client - I feel sunny and expansive (somatosensory of CASE) Havener questions - ‘what do you notice now?’ Client - I see open space ahead of me and nice things (cognitive of CASE) Client - I see open space ahead of me and nice things (cognitive of CASE) Client - I see open space ahead of me and nice things (cognitive of CASE) Client - I see open space ahead of me and nice things (cognitive of CASE) Havener ‘and now?’ Client - I feel relaxed and balanced (Autonomic (Parasympathetic system) of CASE) Client - I feel relaxed and balanced (Autonomic (Parasympathetic system) of CASE) Client - I feel relaxed and balanced (Autonomic (Parasympathetic system) of CASE) Client - I feel relaxed and balanced (Autonomic (Parasympathetic system) of CASE) Havener ‘and what else do you observe, what else are you airming?’ Client - I feel happy (Emotion of CASE) Client - I feel happy (Emotion of CASE) Client - I feel happy (Emotion of CASE) Client - I feel happy (Emotion of CASE) QOCTU and reflect on this experience and talk about the value of this process, consider whether LTP is taking place.
