BIRTH TRAUMA
Therapists who are trained in regression types of therapy can tell you interesting accounts of adults regressing back to the time of their birth. In many cases the trauma of the birth is re-experienced from an adult awareness and the emotions and physical sensations can be now put into words. Many adults who experience re-birthing or regression to emotional problems that were caused by birth trauma, find great relief in releasing the issues and blocks that they received at birth.
As Hypnotherapists agree with the experience of many others... birth creates an entrance into the world that sets us up for emotions that can hold us back or move us forward. Decisions are made about our identity and often locked in place as a result of birth trauma.
An interesting book, called Babies Remember Birth, did some great research into the details that were reported by an adult re-experiencing their birth. Case after case turned up proof that the events remembered were accurate. The emotions of the mother and father were recorded by the baby. Emergency procedures were documented and remembered in the babies mind. Even voices and conversations were accurately identified.
What does this mean? It means that birth matters. It is possible that a large part of who we are could be a result of our birth. Think about it. The first real fear that we experience... bright lights, fear, pain, cold, being lifted and moved, poked... happens at the moment after birth. By reducing the amount of trauma to the baby during this process, it is potentially possible that you will produce a happier child, and a more fulfilled adult.
During a hypno birth the baby spends less time listening to screaming, moaning and feeling constricted. The baby's journey down the birth canal is usually very quick, allowing for an entrance that is not already marked with pain and fear. Personally I would rather flow into the world in peace and harmony than to listen to agonizing moans, and nurses yelling PUUUSH! It just might be that these babies have a little bit of bliss to start their lives. We don't really know the real impact of birth trauma. We owe it to our babies to give them the most loving start possible. Just as a cat purrs for it's newborns....imagine, if your baby could feel your loving voice and the music of your soul as a welcome to the world!
