Preconception

Preparation

With Kate White

Pregnancy and childbirth are threshold moments in anyone’s life. With current trends in human development accepting how transgenerational and intergenerational trauma, in utero conditions and stress may impact the developing baby and the mother’s pregnancy, preconception preparation is the optimal place in the pregnancy to introduce prevention and healing.


Practitioners can help adults find how their ancestral and early histories play a role in their health, especially in preparation for becoming parents. This short course will provide evidence-based tools, practices, and therapeutic ways to be with women and couples as they navigate their way toward becoming a family.

course overview

This series of three one-hour lessons will:

  • Define and identify three distinct patterns for practitioners to be aware of when supporting women and/or couples who want to become pregnant or who are pregnant: Angels, Ghosts and Echoes in the person’s/couple’s history.
  • Describe therapeutic approaches any practitioner may use when supporting birthing parents, especially preconception. These patterns are linked to transgenerational and intergenerational and early history.

Class two

Trauma Sensitive Intake as the Map to the Client Territory

There is a map of the autonomic nervous system that most trauma-informed perinatal professionals are aware of defined by the polyvagal theory. This session covers:

  • the map based on the window of presence, stress and threat responses
  • recognition of the Leading Edge or a therapeutic window that supports healing, addressing the trauma and finding the resource or the Blueprint
  • the importance of recognizing complications and minimizing their impact on the neuro-development of the baby
