Havening for LMFTs: A Somatic Tool for Trauma, Attachment, and Nervous System Regulation (1.5 CEU)

Havening for LMFTs: A Somatic Tool for Trauma, Attachment, and Nervous System Regulation is a hands-on, approachable training created for marriage and family therapists who want to add a powerful, neuroscience-supported tool to their clinical work. Havening Techniques® use gentle touch, sensory input, and guided processing to help calm the nervous system, lower emotional distress, and create a greater sense of safety. In this seminar, LMFTs will learn how these techniques can easily fit into systemic work to support emotional regulation and healthier relationship patterns. Grounded in current research on trauma and neuroplasticity, Havening offers a simple yet meaningful way to help clients shift out of fight-or-flight states and into a place where connection and healing feel more possible. Because LMFTs often work with clients carrying attachment wounds, trauma histories, and chronic stress, Havening blends naturally with relational therapy by addressing not just thoughts and feelings, but also the nervous system responses that drive them. Throughout the training, participants will watch demonstrations, join in discussion, and learn how to use Self-Havening to regulate their own nervous system.  We’ll explore how the techniques can be applied with individuals, couples, and families, and how they can increase emotional safety and support client regulation during challenging moments.
