It has been established from some research that trauma start from pre-verbal time, even in our womb, to adulthood. Quite often we forget if we had trauma, if it is from birth, as many times traumatic birth were not addressed. Now we know that birth trauma and pre-natal trauma can affect that baby into adulthood.
The beauty of craniosacral therapy/healing is to allow that trauma from birth to be acknowledge and let go.
“the old tale, if you pick up a baby or child when they are crying, they grow up spoiled”, we now know that is not true, you can never spoil a child with love and giving attention when they cry, they will learn that if they ask for help, they will get that help. If they ask for help they will be listened to and they grow confident and strong!
If there is a trauma at birth, then that pattern of trauma or unbalance can get stuck into the body, and the body may hold it during their life time, and hence cause a different path that they would have otherwise. This is not the case for every baby that had a traumatic birth, and also baby without a traumatic birth can still have a small unbalance in the body that can cause problems.
C-section, ventouse and forceps are considered birth trauma, and so are anxiety from parents or high stress during pregnancy.
And all of this can be re-balanced with craniosacral therapy from two weeks onwards, that include:
- Colic
- Reflux
- Sleep deprived babies
- High alert babies (babies do need their sleep to grow cognitively and physically)
- Helps with breastfeeding issues, when jaw is tight with or without tongue tie.
- After a tongue tie procedures to restore the movements and let go of the small shock
- Relaxes the nervous system
- Possible restrictions in turning the head left of right, which can still cause problems if at the smallest scale if not addressed (if baby prefers one side to sleep on and does not turn much on the other side, there is a possible small or neck and shoulder restriction)
- Hip restrictions
With craniosacral therapy there is no pulling or pressure in any points that we touch, we let the baby’s body lead the way, with no force of any kind and no upside down baby!
Adults also can still resolve some trauma from birth, it might take a bit longer but can make huge differences through each sections.
