Summary

Long before they’re born, children are thinking, feeling, moving - experiencing. What happens to them in utero may profoundly shape the people they become. In recent years much work has been done to demonstrate the importance of the “prenatal self” and the birth experience. Thomas Verny, psychiatrist, founder of the Center for Psychotherapy and Education in Toronto, and author of The Secret Life of the Unborn Child (Delta, 1982), describes how we can be more sensitive to unborn children, and perhaps recall our own prenatal memories.
