Trauma in the Womb
How Prenatal Experience Impacts Adult Clients
Recorded Friday 21 October 2022
With Dr Cherionna Menzam-Sills
CPD Credits: 3 hours
The field of pre- and perinatal psychology highlights memories of influential, often traumatic events before and around the time of birth. These early experiences can profoundly affect relational and behavioural tendencies. This seminar focuses on experiences of loss in the pre and perinatal period, the most common being early twin loss. We will also explore the “haunted womb” – one that has felt the impact of miscarriages, abortions, or stillbirths.
Maternal loss and stress can affect the flow of love and connection that the baby in utero requires to thrive.
READ MORE...It is suggested that babies developing within this traumatized space may live their lives in the shadow of a mysterious sense of longing and dissatisfaction. How might we shine the light on such shadows and access the original potential that they occlude?
This online seminar offers an overview of common early loss and its effect for the baby in utero, including how such experiences might be sensed and remembered. We will also be offered the opportunity for some experiential exploration of this material, both in ourselves as therapists and clinically with our clients.
CPD – Continuing Professional Development (CPD) credits for 3 hours are available as part of the course fee. You will need to pass a multiple choice questionnaire related to the content in order to receive your certificate.
Access to the Talks On Demand runs for 365 days from the date of purchase.
