This open weekend workshop looks at the connections between birth experiences, attachment issues, and later life responses. This is the third time it has run. As well as counting as CPD, it can also be used as training hours for psychodrama students. The facilitators are Tony Slater and Jenny Biancardi.

Content
Many people are unaware of how much the first powerful experience of their lives – their birth – impinges on their everyday experience. This is a fascinating workshop where you will have the chance to experience for yourself some of the impact that still informs your behaviour and responses.

Past participants have found that understanding and having a new experience helps change unwanted behaviours and feelings that have a primary source.

Are you still waiting to be rescued?
Under pressure – does it feel like a life and death experience?
Are all transitions alarming, or feel dangerous?
Are you always late for everything despite your best efforts: do you avoid being first and early?
Does intimacy fill you with fear?
Do you often feel that life just happens to you, without you being in the driver’s seat?

These, and many other responses, can often be traced to birth experiences. We will use psychodrama, primal integration and guided imagery to illicit the early patterning which may still be in evidence today, and to work with these to minimise their impact.

Participants
This workshop is for anyone who is interested in their own, their children’s, their partner’s, or their clients’ connection with their own births. This is a very experiential workshop – it is not necessary to know the detail of your birth – but any knowledge will help.
