Description
We have heard that "the body keeps the score" or that "the body remembers," and it is now clear that the body can remember birth, prenatal experiences and that trauma can cross over generations. This presentation introduces the field of Prenatal and Perinatal Somatics, or how the earliest experiences starting preconception in life shape us. Our field of practice is over 100 years old and is now fully in the domain of implicit, somatic memories. We will explore what are these early layers and the current practices that help integrate them.
Main Points:
- Earliest experiences starting preconception lay down a template that shapes us across the lifespan.
- Earliest overwhelming experiences are implicit, somatic memories and may influence our lives without the person being aware of them.
- There are maps that help professionals recognize, reach and integrate earliest experiences for their clients and patients.
- A set of five practitioner skills is a way to efficiently work with earliest wounds.
- Earliest overwhelming experiences, including shock and developmental trauma, happen to us as we make our bodies, are born and come into relationship with our parents, families and culture.
- Since these early experiences happen at the beginning of life, they are right next to a greatest spiritual nature so that healing these early experiences tap into our essential human qualities.
- In prenatal and perinatal somatics, we call our essential nature our Blueprint, and our healing practices show how our Blueprint holds our wounds such that when we heal them, our essential qualities arise and thrive.
- We all live with a Blueprint or our essential nature and Imprints or earliest woundings and ruptures. Prenatal and perinatal somatics works to integrate Imprints and Blueprint so humans can feel more whole.
Participants will learn:
- Prenatal and perinatal somatics is a distinct field of study within the somatics field.
- There are three maps that help professionals navigate prenatal and perinatal traumas from the baby’s experience.
- The autonomic nervous system is our basic map for tracking earliest wounds.
- There are five basic layers to the prenatal and perinatal trauma map, and five layers of experience that define the territory of early wounds.
- Five skills categories fortify the professional to work efficiently with earliest trauma.
- A unique blend of skills and maps are the tools for healing earliest wounds.
- Earliest traumas lie right next to our essential, spiritual nature, and these essential human states arise naturally when healing early layers.
