ibt - Integrative Baby Therapy...
- is an emerging form of therapy from the field of pre- and perinatal psychology.
- was developed by Matthew Appleton who also trained in pre- and perinatal psychology and body psychotherapy.
- works permission based.
- at its core gives space for the babies to tell their story through e.g. BBL, reactions, looks, crying without their closest caregivers falling into feelings of guilt oder blame.
- works in the relational field of the baby because this is where it learns how to regulates its nervous system in the face of challenges of life.
- looks at the first nine months after birth as the extended womb period.
- Can include completing processes to move through certain experiences that got previously interrupted (this is comparable to the approach of Somatic Experiencing).
- looks at birth in four stages based on the baby's perspective.
- takes into account that we were all born.
- acknowledges the is-state.
... simply makes sense to me.
