Language Of Pre and Perinatal Therapy

with Kate White
There is growing interest and acceptance in therapy and science that the baby has experiences prenatally and during birth that may lay down a template for lifelong health. Yet practitioners and researchers get mystified by the language that many of our pioneer practitioners use.
Pre- and Perinatal Psychology has been around for decades. This presentation introduces viewers to the way experienced practitioners in the prenatal and perinatal psychology field talk about their work, representing influences from several different disciplines.

Introduction to Pre and Perinatal Psychology
Kate White introduces the field of pre and perinatal psychology, emphasising the importance of understanding babies' experiences from conception through early life. She highlights the lifelong implications of these early experiences. 

The Concept of the "Little One"
The "little one" refers to the baby within us, representing our earliest experiences and states. This concept is crucial in understanding and healing early trauma. 

Somatic Pattern Language
The language of pre and perinatal psychology is somatic, involving how we feel in our bodies and the implicit memories stored there. 

The Role of the Nervous System
Understanding the nervous system and its states is essential in pre and perinatal therapy. The nervous system's responses to early experiences shape our health and well-being. 

Coherence and State Change
Coherence refers to a state of harmony and balance within the body. State change involves shifting from negative to positive states, which is a key goal in therapy. 

The Importance of Touch in Therapy
Touch is a vital component in healing early trauma. Different types of touch, such as light touch, deep touch, and holding, can facilitate healing. 

The Blueprint and Imprint
The blueprint is our original design, while the imprint is the impression of our experiences. Understanding and working with these concepts can be conducive to healing. 

The Field and Space
The field refers to the energy space within and around us. Understanding and working with this field is fundamental to therapy. 

The Role of the Practitioner
Practitioners play a crucial role in facilitating healing by recognising and working with the states and patterns within their clients. 

The Importance of Ancestral Health
Ancestral health and the experiences of our ancestors can influence our early development and health. 

The Importance of Early Experiences
Early experiences, particularly in the first trimester, can have a profound impact on our development and health. 

The Concept of the "Baby Self"
The "baby self" refers to the part of us that holds early experiences and seeks healing. Recognising and working with this part is crucial in therapy.
