Rebirthing Course - BSY Group

Course overview

There is a school of thought that believes that prenatal and perinatal events have enormous impact on our lives. This course explores fundamental traumas from very early in life that often lead to disturbed and disturbing relationships which can sometimes involve violence and abuse.

The course is designed for qualified counsellors and psychotherapists who wish to add these particular specialised skills to their portfolio. It gives guidance on how a therapist can help the client regress to relive prenatal and perinatal events, leading to a resolution of the repressed trauma material and the expansion of human potential and creative intelligence.
