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.
