Introduction to Integrative Baby Therapy
Three Part Live Course with Matthew Appleton
Thursdays, 9/16/30 October 2025 at 19h UK time

Integrative Baby Therapy (IBT) is an emerging healing modality that has been taught to many practitioners, including obstetricians, midwives, psychologists, psychotherapists, psychiatrists, osteopaths, craniosacral therapists and others, throughout Europe.

IBT, is a systemic, relational and embodied approach to working with babies and their families. Babies, children and parents are seen as active participants, whose inherent intelligence can reveal ever deeper levels of potential change and healing. Traumatic imprints from prenatal life and birth are given space to unfold and with the support of empathic presence and enquiry, to resolve. As well as relieving present moment distress for both babies and parents, this creates a more stable foundation for future growth and development.

This course is designed to convey the principles underlying Integrative Baby Therapy and how they are applied in the clinical context.

Working with babies in a therapeutic context can be one of the most satisfying experiences for a practitioner. Providing the space for the baby to ‘tell their story’ and then helping them integrate whatever unresolved pre-birth and birth issues are lingering, gives them a whole different start in life then when these things remain unacknowledged.

One of the best known experts in the field of baby therapy, Matthew Appleton, will give us an introduction to the core principles of Integrative Baby Therapy in his upcoming three part course.

Join us for a free introduction to the course on Thursday, 2 October at 19h UK time.

This is a good overview of the work of Wilhelm Reich. Reich is one of the seminal influences on our trainings. It can be difficult to get a clear perspective on him, as there is a lot of misinformation and confusion in the public realm. This interview is a good starting point for a more informed discussion.

What happens when we revisit Wilhelm Reich’s journey from Freud’s student to radical theorist of desire, politics, and repression? In this episode, we sit do...

Matthew Appleton nella nuova formazione in Prenatale e Nascita di In Origine.

Matthew Appleton, docente di fama internazionale sul lavoro con i neonati e bambini sarà in Italia con In Origine nella prossima formazione PeN. “E’ una occasione straordinaria”, spiega Rosella Denicolò, direttrice didattica del training. “E’ davvero incredibile la ricchezza di esperienza che Matthew Appleton porta nel suo lavoro con i neonati e bambini, la delicatezza e la precisione con cui dialoga con i bebè e i loro genitori”. L’IBT, approccio creato da Appleton, riconosce i bambini come esseri senzienti sin dal concepimento e li aiuta a elaborare esperienze traumatiche della nascita che non erano ancora state integrate. Questi vissuti precoci sono alla base di molti disagi che i neonati presentano come le coliche, disturbi del sonno, pianto inconsolabile, irrequietezza. L’IBT ha due strumenti fondamentali che permettono di riconoscere la storia prenatale e di nascita di un neonato: il Baby Body Language e il Pianto di Memoria. “Il neonato racconta la sua storia attraverso movimenti e attraverso il pianto”, continua Rosella Denicolò. “Anche la forma del cranio o compressioni in specifiche parti del volto possono essere indicatori di difficoltà attraversate in uno dei 4 stadi della nascita. Alla base della formazione in Prenatale e Nascita c’è inoltre un enorme patrimonio di esperienze cliniche che mostrano le conseguenze di alcune esperienze precoci sullo stile di attaccamento e sul nostro mondo relazionale nella vita adulta. Gli interventi chimici o strumentali al parto, per esempio, come il cesareo, il forcipe, la ventosa hanno conseguenze che non sono solo fisiologiche, ma anche psicologiche”. Il percorso della formazione Pen è esperienziale. I seminari condotti da Rosella Denicolò dedicati al paradigma pre e perinatale nel lavoro con adolescenti e adulti, si alternano con quelli di Matthew Appleton dedicati al lavoro con i bebè e la famiglia.
Il Training Biennale Pen inizierà a febbraio 2026 a Poggio Torriana – Rimini. Per info: Franca 334 1569112, info@inorigine.it ,https://www.inorigine.it/formazione/,
