In this compelling episode of Behind The Smile, host Ash Butters welcomes Elle McBride, a Certified Havening Techniques® Trainer, to delve into the transformative power of Havening Techniques. Elle, a globally recognized trauma-informed practitioner, shares her personal journey of overcoming trauma and how Havening became a pivotal tool in her healing process.
Since 2016, Elle has been dedicated to helping others heal using neuroscience-based tools, blending her professional expertise with personal insights to create empowering environments for individuals seeking to break free from trauma, stress, and limiting beliefs. Elle discusses the lasting impact of childhood trauma on adult behavior, emphasizing the importance of community, self-compassion, and resilience in achieving long-term recovery.
She highlights how Havening, heavily backed by neuroscience, can alter neural pathways and change responses to traumatic events, offering hope to those feeling trapped by their past experiences. Through engaging anecdotes, Elle describes her daily life on the Gold Coast, where she finds joy in simple moments like walking her dog and hosting dinner parties. Her story is one of personal transformation and illustrates the power of self-belief and connection.
Elle underscores the significance of community support, explaining how individuals can find connections in various settings, from workplaces to social groups. She stresses that trauma is not limited to severe events; it can manifest in feelings of inescapability, impacting anyone at any stage of life. With the support of Havening Techniques, individuals can gain freedom and peace of mind, building resilience through the healing process.
Elle leaves listeners with a powerful message: "I choose to feel safe, peaceful, and calm," encouraging everyone to embrace healing and live authentically. The episode concludes with Elle's three non-negotiables for living a happy, authentic life: prayer, stillness, and community. Listeners are invited to connect with Elle via Instagram or email, and Ash reminds everyone of the importance of reaching out to those we care about.
As the show emphasizes, when we recover loudly, no one needs to suffer in silence.
