How To Reduce Anxiety Using the Self-Havening Techniques with Dr. Kate Truitt

Did you know that your brain is an anticipation machine, and that anxiety is a critical part of how our brain is designed to keep us safe and empower us to be our best selves?  In this psychoeducational video, Dr. Kate Truitt explores how our brain's anticipation mechanisms work, particularly in relation to anxiety. She explains how our brain uses anticipation to keep us safe, but sometimes it can go into overdrive.    Dr. Truitt introduces the Havening Technique, a tool that uses gentle touch to soothe the brain and reduce anxiety.  You'll learn about four different Havening Touch applications and how to use them with distraction techniques to create a sense of calm. This will help you partner with your brain to down-regulate stress and embrace empowered change.   Learn more about the Havening Techniques®: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHr7ALZRVEPbRdYBIx6ie6crQ5FXqJJhS  For additional mental health resources on reducing anxiety: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHr7ALZRVEPbQWd1EtTRB1wkxB9RLVah1   #psychoeducational #haveningtouches #healinginyourhands For more information and blogs visit DrTruitt.com, find inspiration on Instagram @Dr.KateTruitt, join Dr. Kate on TikTok @DrKateTruitt, and subscribe to us here for weekly videos!
