Annual online conference

Welcome to our international annual conference 2026

We are deligh­ted to wel­co­me you to our con­fe­rence “Trau­ma­tic Births – Trau­ma­ti­zed Socie­ty: The Importance of Pre- and Peri­na­tal Psy­cho­lo­gy.”

How we are born mat­ters! (Michel Odent) How we’­re born lea­ves deep traces in our body, ner­vous sys­tem, and uncon­scious, sha­ping how we see our­sel­ves and the world.

Birth is a key event: for child, mother, and father. Can the baby be born in its own rhythm? Can the mother give birth in her own rhythm? If not, the­re is a high risk of trau­ma­tiza­ti­on and as more humans got trau­ma­ti­zed during birth, it will affect and shape the who­le socie­ty!

One in six women expe­ri­en­ces trau­ma­tic birth — likely far more go unre­por­ted. Do humans feel mani­pu­la­te, live in fear and anger, dis­con­nec­ted from them­sel­ves, others, natu­re or can peo­p­le form healt­hy rela­ti­onships? It’s the foun­da­ti­on for self-con­fi­dence and empa­thy.

Our 2026 Annu­al Online Con­fe­rence focu­ses on pre- and peri­na­tal psy­cho­lo­gy — the signi­fi­can­ce of ear­ly imprin­ting pat­terns on our per­so­nal deve­lo­p­ment, in pro­fes­sio­nal con­texts, and in socie­tal rela­ti­onships.
