Client who was previously a competent driver has become fearful of driving on motorways after a friend described being in an accident on a motorway. Which Havening Technique would you choose first of all?

Client is very angry about a situation which is similar to very many minor ones before it. The anger has built up and has not been expressed to anyone who could change things, ie, a manager or colleague. The angry thoughts are increasingly and seem to 'always be playing' in his mind. He has been able to express his anger to friends and family and they are now tired of this behaviour and feel upset for him at the same time. Family have suggested he see a Havener.

Client has recently had a diagnosis of a life threatening disease and feels completely depressed and that nothing will work, there can be no improvement.

After Event Havening, a client is doing some Transpirational Havening and they suddenly quietly say "I am okay". What type of Havening Technique would you move elegantly into?

Client is doing classic Affirmational Havening, the Havener is suggesting many ideas that the Havener thinks are 'positive'. The Havenee is following and chanting these suggested affirmations. During saying 'I am confident' they look increasingly unsure, and upset, blushing a bit and their voice sounds wavery. What do you think they are actually thinking while chanting and what part of their brain are they activating, what system are they activating (is it their sympathetic or parasympathetic system?) and from your own answers to all of these questions. What type of Havening do you think is actually taking place?
