Listen "Interview with Dr. Thomas Verny: Babies Can Remember Their Time in the Womb and Their Births"
Episode Synopsis
Summary
Dr. Thomas Verny, MD, a renowned psychiatrist and international bestselling author, discusses the concept of prenatal memories and the importance of understanding that babies in utero and at birth have remembered lived experiences. He shares his journey of discovering and researching prenatal memories, as well as his formation of the Association of Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and Health (APPPAH).
Dr. Verny explains the biological basis for prenatal memories and how the entire body, not just the brain, is involved in memory formation. He also discusses the role of the womb environment and the outside world in providing information to the developing baby. Dr. Verny emphasizes the importance of honesty in relationships and repairing any unavoidable stressors that may have occurred during pregnancy or birth.
Takeaways
Babies in utero and at birth have remembered, lived experiences.
APPPAH was developed with the support of professionals who understand how important pre- and perinatal psychology and health is.
Prenatal memories are formed through a combination of listening to sounds, receiving information through the placenta, and experiencing the parent's strong emotions. The memories are held within the body in the cells.
The best time to discuss prenatal memories with children is between the ages of two and a half and three and a half (depending upon development).
Honesty and open communication are crucial in repairing any stressors or challenges that may have occurred during pregnancy or birth.
Understanding and acknowledging prenatal memories can lead to stronger parent-child relationships and healing.
