Description of the Course

​This 6 session course will feature speakers who have expertise in twin dynamics, especially twin loss from the baby’s experience and how to heal it. Twin dynamics have long fascinated scientists, from studying the impact of our environment on genes to how our relationships with our twin, alive or not, affects us lifelong. Twin loss, the surviving twin, the vanishing twin and twin dynamics are much discussed in prenatal and perinatal somatic psychological work.

The last session is a dynamic panel of speakers for another course for professionals and parents. Each talk is 1.5 hours.
