Podcast Short - Gillian Stevenson, How to heal your trauma through the somatic practice of Having

Gorgeous listeners, welcome to this week’s episode of Finding Your Way HomeOn this week's Podcast Short, we sit down with Master NLP Coach, Hypnotherapist and Trauma-Informed Havening Practitioner, Gillian Stevenson. Gillian is an incredible resource on the intersection between neurology, biology and the sustained healing of complex trauma. As you’ll hear in this beautiful excerpt, Gillian has spent her career pursuing not only the tools for creating deep emotional change, but understanding (and sharing) the science behind them. In today’s episode, we dive into her favourite focus topic - a powerful somatic practice called Havening, which is increasingly used in therapeutic interventions for both “external” traumas (PTSD / family conflict / war etc) and perhaps more internalised challenges such as chronic pain, phobia and mental illness. You will hear how exactly Havening works physiologically; why it’s so effective in the navigation of sustained mental or physical challenge; and how we can practically apply Havening in any moment we find ourselves to be activated by old / practiced neural pathways. Whether you’re someone working to reduce anxiety, retrain your beliefs or improve sleep, or a practitioner looking for additional somatic tools to support your clients with, this is a powerful and insightful Mini to learn from.  To find out more about Gillian and the Havening Technique: Contact Gillian at [email protected] Havening Techniques are a registered trademark of Dr Ronald Ruben; please visit www.havening.org to find out more. Stay connected with the podcastThank you for listening; it means the world to us as a team, and to our guests. If you enjoyed this episode, please leave us a review and share the conversation with friends who might benefit from learning about this powerful somatic tool. You can also follow us on  @ab_embodiment for updates, behind-the-scenes content, and upcoming episodes, or visit our website for further information. And to explore working together more deeplyJoin our free newsletter for insights, events and self-healing resources.Book a Clarity Call to explore working together intimately in 2025Apply for an Early Bird place in the 2025 Advanced Facilitator Training - From Head to Heart.Reach out via email / socials to apply for a unique place on our private Costa Rican retreat: Journey to the Heart. 6 days of sacred ceremony for self-connection & love, set in the most beautiful landscape you will ever encounter. Sending care, wherever this finds you.  Anthea xDisclaimer: This podcast is for informational and educational purposes only.
