041 Understanding Pre and Perinatal Trauma: Insights from Somatic Work with Horses

In this episode, I talk about returning after a hiatus, discussing our recent move to Lincolnshire and our work with horses. I delve into the fascinating subject of childhood experiences and pre and perinatal trauma, exploring how early somatic memories impact later life. The discussion covers the storage of these memories in the nervous system, the impact of traumatic births, and the importance of touch and connection for both humans and horses. I share insights on somatic trauma-informed methods, encouraging parents and caregivers to consider these early experiences when addressing children's attachment and anxiety issues.00:00 Welcome Back & Personal Updates00:43 Exploring Childhood Experiences and Trauma01:37 The Impact of Pre and Perinatal Trauma02:22 Understanding Somatic Memory and Trauma06:07 The Power of Connection and Touch07:05 Learning from Horses: Safety and Connection08:32 Applying Insights to Human Relationships and Healing10:31 Closing Thoughts on Somatic Work and Personal GrowthConnect with Dina (Your Host) on other platforms:Like & subscribe to our channel on Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/@thewayofthehorsehttps://www.facebook.com/groups/equinefacilitatedlearning https://www.instagram.com/dina_shalehttps://www.facebook.com/TheWayOfTheHorsehttp://www.thewayofthehorse.co.ukhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/equinefacilitatedlearningtherapisthttps://highwaytohealing.co.uk**Subscribe, share, and leave a review to help us spread the message of empowerment**.
