As a seasoned therapist who was born premature myself, I understand both the personal and professional sides of this work. I've developed methods that reach places other therapies often miss, helping hundreds of adults and children interrupt those challenging patterns that stem from our earliest experiences.

This interactive Q&A format allows you to ask specific questions about birth trauma, learn about techniques you'd like to understand better, or how to integrate birth trauma awareness into your postpartum support practice.

"I have extensive training but this particular training was awesome. I will practice your techniques not only in my work, but in my life and those in my extended family.

Delivery was casual, which opened my mind to accept the learning so much easier, not one moment was I bored at all!

Content was extensive, which I appreciated. There were great topics I didn’t even expect, and I even learned the anatomy physiology of topics covered ."

Carmen Ortiz, senior therapist

Format: This will be an interactive Q&A session where you can ask questions about birth trauma work. Come prepared with your questions!

Annie Brook, has over 45 years of experience working with hundreds of children and training therapists for over three decades. She understands the real-life struggles parents and therapists face and provides practical tools to apply in your practice.

Healing Birth Trauma Stories

“Annie Brook’s new book, From Conception to Crawling, is a wonderful gift to all of us who are interested in repatterning imprinting from early trauma. The concepts and exercises she presents are readily available and tremendously useful.”

Raymond Castellino

Annie Brook gives a very clear picture of how to work with and treat earliest origins of shock. Attachment treatment issues are clearly defined with treatment layout for any birth practitioner. This work is easily integrated into ones practice and is easy to follow. Annie Brook spoke at the recent conference of pre and perinatal psychology and health (APPPAH) and her information was well received. Her book is a continuation of her lectures and a great resource for this work.

Sandra Bardsley

As a creative artist, teacher, curator, and former Director of the Dance/Movement Studies program at Naropa University, I continually strive to support integrative and innovative research, creativity, and performance in the arts. These source books offer a unique perspectiveon the link between somatic and expressive disciplines. The approachis applicable to a variety of movement practitioners; dancers, actors,musicians, performance artists – from emerging artists to professionals or participants seeking to engage in body-mind inquiry.

Diane Butler

As a bodyworker, I have been waiting for this book to be written. It is an important subject for my students and my clients, and I have already recommended it to them. As a bodywork practitioner and teacher, the themes in this book become real in practice as they arise in client's tissues and behaviors. It is important to have awareness of how birth can affect people later in their lives.

This book provides a thorough look at the many tools and skill sets needed for anyone working with healing through the medium of the body..It is accessible to both professionals and lay people.The treatment of the nervous system,understanding the neuroanatomy and how to repair disruptions through the nervous system caused by shock and trauma are essential to understanding how the body( and often then the psyche) heals itself.I am very happy to have this book to recommend to my colleagues and students.

Lynda Caesara

"The challenge of early childhood patterns for successful attachment is reviewed and redefined in this remarkably succinct telling. Dr. Brook is a master in her field, offering compassion and insight.

Laying out formative patterns, this book unwinds the tangles of birth.With clarity and vision the author explores systems and response patterns on which we have come to rely. Dr. Brook offers practical application from her experience in untangling and redefining the impact of birth. Extremely useful for parents, or for psychotherapists treating clients of all ages, from infants to adults."

A. Berlin

It just resonated with me that I wasn't alone anymore...My life changed in a really big way. There is so much information and so much growth you see in yourself but you also get to see in others.

Susanne

"There are few books that discuss how to do psychotherapy around perinatal issues, and even fewer that are good at it. These two books are that, and I recommend it to any therapist that would like to learn how to support their clients around that time period (which is most clients)."

Pete

“Developmental movements reflect as well as hold memories of trauma and shock. [From Conception to Crawling] and the available videos tell how parents and professionals can systematically guide a person through to the other side, healing shock in the process. I recommend it highly.”

William R. Emerson, Ph.D

The content was very informative both from the babies perspective and parent perspective. The “birth process” and phases of the birth process affirmed for me both patterns that I have seen in my families, but also gave me pause to explore my own personal experiences...annie’s way of having full body participation helped to anchor the material.

Johanna Cubra

I made sense of some very persisting behaviours stemming from my birth

Eleni Potnia

The class was so valuable! I appreciated suggestions on both diving in for deep work and ‘on the spot’ practices.

The suggested practices for using yield and push and further sequence for moving out of freeze was amazing!

Maria

The two volumes of Annie Brook's Birth's Hidden Legacy have a wealth of information about the profound impacts that birth has our our nervous system and behavior. Dr Brook is a master in her field, helping clients of all ages unravel and heal the imprints of pre and perinatal events. Both volumes include fascinating case studies which help illustrate the theory. Whether you are a parent, therapist or are interested in your own healing of pre-cognitive events these books are a great resource.

Alicia

Birth's Hidden Legacy, written by Annie Brook, Ph.D., is a sensational, profound, creative work. Great for professionals, parents, or anyone curious about the potential impact birth may have on personality and behavior. Dr. Brook masterfully integrates pre- and perinatal psychology, infant mental health, child development, and somatic psychotherapy in a captivating way. Please see the upcoming Spring 2014 issue of Somatic Psychotherapy Today, edited by Nancy Eichhorn, Ph.D., for my in-depth review of Birth's Hidden Legacy volume's 1 and 2, and a special interview with Annie Brook.

I appreciated you sharing about proprioception being the ability to feel weight and pressure. I enjoyed the Body Tool of pressing my hands together and noticing what was happening inside. Naming how one might have an underdeveloped cell membrane and can become flooded with emotion or become rigid, where cells don’t communicate with themselves was fascinating and relatable.

I enjoyed the Breathing Ball exercise and found at the end when I notice my surroundings to be wonderful as a way to reorient to what is happening now. I appreciated what you said about one of the ways to assist in healing is the ability to shift our attention and not get stuck or locked down. I notice that this shift in focus is a passive movement, but one that brings the outside into focus and therefore allows me to be present to what is happening in the here and now. Brilliant!

I loved that you shared that you rest into your healthy fat more deeply when encountering someone who is triggered. When I experienced this myself, it felt like I was settling into myself. It helped me create a more robust edge.

I also found the information you shared about the precognitive infant having intelligence and also that the amygdala is on board in a precognitive child fascinating and clarifying as why we function as we do.
