Abstract:
The prime importance of the quality of mother-child bonding has
been known for many years among psychotherapists; however, this is
not common knowledge for most mothers-to-be. Thus a pregnant client
is a chance and a challenge for a body psychotherapist: 1.We can
assist the mother-to-be to form a deep bonding with the baby before
birth already by educating her about the neurobiological changes
occurring during pregnancy and the expected degree of development
of the infant at birth. 2. We can offer special awareness exercises
(described here in detail) which improve perception of all senses
(seeing, hearing, touching and smelling) and thus sharpen the
mother-to-be’s sensitivity for her environment, especially for the
signals the baby will send out. The work described here aims to
help the pregnant client to tune into the body language of the baby
as a prerequisite for a deep and loving bonding. It could also be a
preventive measure for a later neurosis of the child. Two short
case vignettes will illustrate the approach.
