Origins of Trauma. The Formation of the Psyche Before Birth

What if our traumas, psychological blocks, and complexes stem from an earlier period in our life — from the time when the world around us was limited to our mother's body? Elena Zhurek, a practicing family psychologist and a lecturer at the Moscow Institute of Psychoanalysis, will unveil the mystery surrounding the first nine months of an unborn person's life. In this book, dedicated to prenatal and perinatal psychology, she will discuss how a mother's psycho-emotional state affects the future child, how our life scripts are formed, and how to heal from traumas received before birth.
