Details:
Pre and Perinatal Psychology is not like the traditional kind of psychology we think of. It is a somatically based view that includes are earliest imprints, memories, and experiences from conception forward. These are important to understand and process because they become the foundation of all of our experience moving forward in our lives. Our experiences in utero form how we see and interact with the world and others, without us even being aware of it. This is called implicit memory. These experiences are stored in our bodies, both physical and energetic, and touch and somatic therapies are excellent for helping heal any of our earliest experiences that may still be impacting our lives in a way that creates struggle or friction. These can show us as chronic tension, mental health challenges, fears and phobias, health challenges, and challenges with life skills. Because our brains, bodies, and nervous systems are flexible, meaning they can change, we can heal these early imprints of pain, shame, fear, anger, not feeling seen or understood, and more. The view point and tools from Pre and Perinatal Psychology (PPN) are designed to help heal birth trauma, whether it is for the birthing person, the baby, or the partner and extended family, even including transgenerational traumas. Sessions are appropriate for any age from in utero to adults. Come help heal your little one, even if he/she is in an adult body.
