I’m delighted to announce the publication of my book. If you are working with expecting or new mothers or parents, this is written for you! Trauma-informed care in the perinatal period is not optional. https://t.co/fhQDD8BOQv

@tyorrique @kelly_erin_ @boywaif Todd McGowan’s latest book Introduction to Lacan is very good, can highly recommend it

@SMcfarnell That question is extremely difficult, it points to the mind-body problem. Feelings play a big role in thinking, in the sense of interoception and assessing/evaluating. There would be no thoughts without feelings. But we might have had raw affects before thoughts

On Friday I will be in conversation with the brilliant Karen Kleiman about my book, Somatic Maternal Healing, and her book, the Art of Holding. We have been reading each other’s books and meeting to discuss. @ppstresscenter

@JonathanShedler Another example is grief. So many ppl in that situation are not in a position to even consider the question of what they want or whether they want to change. They are just deeply in pain after loss and need to talk to someone.

[Helena Vissing, PsyD @HelenaVissing]

@JonathanShedler Many ppl seek therapy while they are going through crisis, trauma reactions, or big life transitions. They don’t even know if change is possible or if they want it, they just desperately need a safe and supportive relationship where they can be listened to. Eg postpartum mothers

[Helena Vissing, PsyD @HelenaVissing]

@JonathanShedler But your point here is also wonderfully explored depth in in Adam Phillips two books On Getting Better and On Wanting to Change

[Helena Vissing, PsyD @HelenaVissing]

I’m honored and delighted to announce this event with a great pioneer of Perinatal Mental Health, Karen Kleiman. What excites me the most about this conversation is the relentless message of hope for healing. Karen has been working on this for decades. Sign up w @ppstresscenter

@ENOgden Embodying the maternal is something many wants anyone but themselves to do. We long for it but don’t want to do it ourselves.

[Helena Vissing, PsyD @HelenaVissing]

@ENOgden Where is this from?
