Brief Explanation of Birth Psychology (AKA, Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology)
Because of compelling evidence, known by indigenous cultures for millennia and in the western world for the last 100 years, we know that babies are conscious sentient beings with the capacity to learn and to have their own thoughts, feelings, and experiences before and after birth. In the baby’s experience of conception, pregnancy, and birth, there are opportunities and potential consequences for individuals, families, and society. This knowledge changes the ways in which we interact with babies and their mothers before and after birth and provides opportunities to prevent, minimize, and heal early trauma.
