module one
How We Are Born Echoes Through Our Life
Thursday, 13 February 2025 at 19h UK time
Early impressions last a life time unless they are addressed. Infant overwhelm due to experiences such as C-section or other obstetrical interventions, prematurity, overly long labour, postnatal depression of the mother, infant surgeries etc. create protective response habits and attachment issues.
In this module, we will look at the influence earliest impressions have on the brain and nervous system and how these experiences shape our behaviour throughout life. We will learn about types of birth experiences and common echoes later in life. Annie will show us how unwrapping shock patterns allows natural life force to flow through, enabling us to create healthy connections with oxytocin states of aliveness and safety.

Module two
Attachment Dynamics
Thursday, 20 February 2025 at 19h UK time
The nervous system is first and foremost a note taker. It assesses for comfort and safety, and makes meaning of events. ‘Notes’ are established as imprints, well before the brain can think, starting in utero with an awake amygdala and continuing during the formative 0 to 18 months of age and throughout developmental childhood phases. Beliefs from perinatal times encode as double binds, which is what drives difficult behaviour in a child or adult.
In this second module, we will learn about possible attachment dynamics and how they play out in human relationships. Annie will show how attachment wounds can be healed and what healthy self-attachment and a good connection to others feel like.

module three
Adoption Challenges
Thursday, 27 February 2025 at 19h UK time
The imprint from having been given up for adoption can follow an individual around like a shadow. Even if a child was adopted as early as at birth, they will hold the fear of being abandoned, as this imprint is stored in their brain. Especially if a child has experienced pre-adoption adversity, their ability to securely bond can be challenged to various degrees.
In this final course module, we will learn about the adoption imprint which may come with not just fear of being both loved and given away but also a set of “bad baby” beliefs. Annie will explain how ‘spatial shock’ can be repaired and feelings of being unsafe in the surrounding space be overcome.
