Working with babies and their parents is a service and a mission that is dear to our hearts here at the STAR Institute.
New BCST Skills for with Babies (Part 1 in a series)
Working with the Effects of Prenatal Stress and Trauma
Watch for dates and times, TBA
Only in the past 30 or so years have we begun to understand and advocate for the well-being of prenates as sentient (aware and conscious) beings. This workshop will help us deepen into that understanding, and will introduce us to perceiving prenates as “fluid beings,” and thus vulnerable to “fluid shock and trauma.” This particular type of suffering, unique to prenates and newborns, can have an insidious effect on the little one’s autonomic nervous system (ANS) development and can result in symptoms and patterns that may last a lifetime. We’ll discuss and work with Biodynamic skills for resolving fluid shock and trauma in prenates and newborns.
