Welcome to Early Echoes. In this episode I read from "Remembering Your Home" where William Emerson shares memories of his birth and his transformative healing process.

William R. Emerson, Ph.D. is a world pioneer in the field of pre- and perinatal psychology. Dr. Emerson has practiced psychotherapy for more than 40 years, specializing in regression therapy, and developing and implementing methods for treating pre- and perinatal trauma in infants, children and adults. He was the first in the field to develop treatment techniques for infants, including psycho therapeutic interventions. He is renowned as a workshop leader, writer and international lecturer.

He teaches Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy trainings, Settling trainings and Working with Babies classes at various locations around the United States, as well as birthsurround workshops and other therapeutic work for the nervous system.

His teaching and private practice are inspired by his strong desire to understand and alleviate the deep causes of suffering found with stress and trauma to the nervous system. He is especially motivated to help babies, moms and their families to resolve the crippling effects of traumas and stresses that happen during gestation, birth and early neonatal life.

Gary studied Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy with Franklyn Sills, a pioneer in the field of Craniosacral Biodynamics and author of several books in the field. Gary also studied Prenatal and Birth Therapy with Ray Castellino, himself a pioneer inthe field of resolving birth traumas and imprints for babies and their families.
