What is Delta Wave - or Havening Techniques?
How does emotional trauma develop?
It could develop if you feel powerless, if you are in a vulnerable position and can’t get out, if you get in a situation where you fear you might die, if mother and baby get separated as some babies need to be closely monitored after birth, all this can be a traumatic experience. There are many ways how you can get an emotional trauma.
What is trauma?
There are events in our life which can cause a deep shock to our system; they are called traumatic events. These can be physical like a broken bone and or psychological, in this case we talk about an emotional trauma.
Going back in time, emotional trauma was one way of keeping you, as a human safe, you had to remember what was dangerous. This stayed with you to remind you of a negative event and helps you to avoid repeating a possibly fatal mistake. So how does it work?
You connect to your trauma through your senses like a sound, a smell or an image, a song and what follows is a whole-body response. Through the ongoing effects of trauma your body might react with chronic stress, depression or anxiety; with an autoimmune disorder or other physical and mental challenges. Trauma is a stop sign, and it can be very hard to carry on in your daily life.
Often, you will need some help from the outside to find a new path forward. There are many ways you can approach this i.e. through talk therapy, counselling, EMDR, and other.
I work with a very gentle, safe, compassionate, and holistic, approach called Delta Wave or Havening Techniques®. The aim is for you to get a stable footing, to build on this, and to become more robust and resilient.

If motherhood is a rough ride and overwhelming, there is a gentle path to balance.
If you can’t let go of the one memory and it over-shadows everything, there is a gentle way out.
If you are too anxious to leave the house, there is a gentle way to reconnect.
If you feel desperate to escape suicidal ideations, there is a gentle way back to safe and calm thoughts.
Imagine we are sitting in a cosy cafe, with a cuppa chatting about the challenges of motherhood. About what we need as mothers, the boundaries trauma sets for us, and I ask you:
What would it feel like to live without anxiety?
What would it feel like to live without depression?
What would it feel like after all this time to be free of this memory and instead allowing yourself to find the beautiful moments in the birth of your child?
How would that feel?
I work with women experiencing emotional trauma, depression, anxiety, feeling deep sadness and pain relating to pregnancy, birth and the time afterwards. Afterwards can be as long ago as it might have taken you to find this; a few weeks, months, or 40 years.
Depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation are almost always connected to trauma. Resolving this means resolving the emotional trauma. This allows you to live your life again. Your thoughts clear up, your anxiety lessens significantly, the restrictions trauma puts around you disappear.
Here is the story of a woman I’ve worked with. She is comfortable with me sharing her experience.
