The way we’re born can impact our bodies, emotions and nervous systems. The hormones released into the blood-stream by the mother during times of stress, the effect of interventions on our nervous systems and the environment which we’re born into can all leave their mark, affecting attachment patterns, perspectives and how we navigate our work and play.
We may gather more layers as we go through life but birth and pre-birth tend to lay the foundations upon which our deeply ingrained patterns are unconsciously repeated. I was induced and premature and ended up with so much adrenaline in my system that I walked on my toes, never crawled, ready to go into flight mode but needing an impending deadline to get anything done. I have several clients whose mothers nearly died during their births who often find themselves stuck in victim-perpetrator cycles and are often embroiled in legal action in their family and work lives.
And then their are the less obvious cases, children who are angry and depressed without explanation whose mothers later reveal there was a twin heartbeat lost in the very early weeks, leaving the child to suffer from ‘survivor’s guilt’. And the clever breech babies who are often cited as having their heads in the clouds, but in fact protect themselves from danger in the womb by moving into a safer position, who as adults tend to act cautiously in life but often feel as if their upper and lower bodies are disconnected due to having been pulled about so much by doctors in the process of trying to get them out.
Releasing these stuck patterns from the body and resetting the nervous system can free up stuck trauma energy, transform the way we view the world, and allow us to reach our full potential, and it’s never too late ✨
