Prenatal Shadow: Healing the Traumas Experienced before and at Birth by Sills, Cherionna Menzam

The Prenatal Shadow by Cherionna Menzam-Sills explores her view of how prenatal and birth experiences may influence later emotional and bodily patterns. Discussions of implicit memory are accompanied by client stories and a somatic approach to reflection.

Body-awareness exercises, questions and meditative practices invite readers to consider early experience with care. These methods do not verify specific memories from before birth or replace qualified trauma-informed or medical support.
