About this Workshop Series

Stress, emotional tension and routine medical procedures at birth may have long-lasting traumatic effects on babies and their families, and continue to do so as children grow. Brain development, learning capacities, emotional stability, physical coordination and self-esteem are all directly affected by trauma experienced during birth and other preverbal events.

Fortunately, there are new approaches to helping babies, children and their families work through the consequences of traumatic early beginnings. The BEBA (Building and Enhancing Bonding and Attachment) clinic in Ojai, California, is a leading research clinic in the field of early trauma. 

During the mini series that I will deepen into the main principles and practices of our work at the BEBA Clinic supporting families with babies and children to heal these early experiences to support them to thrive together.

Specifically I will explore the use of pre and perinatal therapy as we apply it to our work with babies and children of all ages as well as exploring how we support parents and experience what a session looks like.

How to identify the signs of early trauma and how to resolve the trauma in babies and their families through the use of supported attachment, facilitated movement and co-regulation.

2. Working with children
Child centered play, the ongoing effects of early experiences, the power of storytelling, howchildren communicate their feelings and how to support them to feel seen and heard.

3. Supporting parents
Coaching parents to support their children: supporting parents to be in connection with each other and offering parents their own sessions for when they need the extra support to be present for their children.

4. Integrating it all
Using the Somatic Integrative Approach developed at BEBA and viewing a videotaped BEBAsession
