Three Part course
Meeting the Prenatal Shadow with Compassion
Basic Needs of Being
We all arrive with basic needs of being, including recognition, acknowledgment, unconditional
acceptance, an attuned holding field, and a sense of safety that enables us to simply be. Often, these basic needs are not fully met.
When we bring compassion to them, either in ourselves or in others, like our clients, these needs begin to be addressed. We provide a different, more welcoming, nurturing context than the one that was available during conception, gestation, birth, and beyond. In this class we will explore what this might mean for each of us and or consider specific clients in our care.

Meeting the Prenatal Shadow with Compassion
Addressing prenatally-derived shame with compassion
A posture of shame is easily recognised as being somewhat hunched over a protected heart. Interestingly, this is the same posture that is common when people have not experienced being seen, welcomed, and acknowledged a the time William Emerson has named, “Discovery,” when the pregnancy is confrmed with a pregnancy test.
How can we offer compassion to ourselves and others who may still be hiding, afraid of rejection, fearful of having their sense of worthlessness discovered? This class promises a rich, potentially deeply healing exploration.

Pre- and Perinatal Scope of Practice - Pre-Speech Memory versus Reconstruction in Hindsight
In this class, we will explore the important distinction between personal narrative truth and biographical truth; how a reconstruction can be genuinely meaningful and even healing without being literally accurate; and the responsibility this places on us not to inadvertently install or confirm memories that were never there.
