Introduction  
Clinical observation and research show that prenates are conscious and sentient beings, who remember and are affected by their prenatal and birth experiences. Pre- and perinatal researchers have found that unresolved traumas: impair intellectual and motor development; inhibit educational, social, and athletic performances; increase the risk of aggressive, hyperactive, attachment, and attention-deficit disorders; increase the risk of substance abuses and violence; and impair self esteem.
 
"Ninety-five percent of babies have mild, moderate, or severe birth traumas, and over one half have at least one severe prenatal trauma."(From Somatotropic Therapy by W. Emerson & Stephan Schorr-Kon). Resolving traumas has unexpected and surprising benefits. This is because, in the process of resolution, the depths of the psyche are accessed, along with instinctual forces which would otherwise remain obscure. Dynamic forces of innate intelligence, human potential, and spirituality are released. In addition, the treatment process uses and shapes important qualities such as empathy, perceptiveness, trust, self-awareness, and self-esteem.
 
"If I had a choice of adopting a traumatized or an untraumatized baby, I would definitely adopt a traumatized infant. This is because the process of trauma resolution not only resolves traumas, but it offers opportunities for character development, bonding and attachment that would otherwise not be available." -  W. Emerson
