Hello All!
Developmentally the baby does not yet experience itself as completely
separate from the mother, as infant boundaries are very diffuse. It is
likely that the mother was very upset, if not traumatized by the experiences
and uncertainties in the hospital . I would suggest some work with the
mother which would likely help to reassure the baby.
I would be very cautious about recommending Fred Gallo's work for trauma.
These "power therapies" also known as "the alphabet therapies "and other
quick fixes for what could be very complicated situations need to be viewed
with caution. As we know, working systemically, the presenting person or
symptom may not always be what it seems. I will be addressing this in the
last chapter of my next book . The chapter is about " Symptoms and the
Ecology of Intervention ".
All for now..
