Life Before Birth: How Experience in the Womb Can Affect Our Lives Forever

“Until we re-direct our focus earlier, we shall never solve these human
problems.” Dr. Arthur Janov explains this position in his article and describes how the
psychophysiological effects of events that occur during the first nine months influence
the lifespan. Clearly focusing on the womb is a shift in his Primal theory. This change
proposes the importance of healing prenatal imprints to more clearly see their
widespread cumulative and enduring effects. “It means that how the birth trauma is
played out, and reacted to, depends on earlier life circumstances—womb-life.”
