El Poder Transformador de los Comienzos: Terapia de Trauma Prenatal
Resumen
¿Alguna vez se ha sentido atascado o curioso sobre cómo abordar el trabajo clínico con clientes que están embarazadas y, al mismo tiempo, cargan consigo historias no resueltas de trauma y disociación? Este conversatorio o entrevista destaca cómo el trauma y la disociación no resueltos en clientas embarazadas a menudo permanecen ocultos como resultado de adaptaciones defensivas, dejando el trauma invisible, desconocido y sin tratar. La investigación y la práctica han demostrado que el trauma y la disociación no resueltos durante los años de crianza y en la etapa adulta, pueden impactar y afectar profundamente el vínculo prenatal, la experiencia obstétrica y la capacidad de criar de manera empática y saludable. Este conversatorio explorará la importancia de la evaluación y cuestionarios para identificar el trauma no procesado en nuevas madres, seguido de una introducción al Modelo de Terapia Familiar del Vientre Sereno (Calming Womb Family Therapy Model – CWFTM). El Modelo de Terapia Familiar del Vientre Sereno integra cuidadosa y sensitivamente los resultados de las herramientas de evaluaciones y cuestionarios de trauma y disociación en la conceptualización del caso y la planificación del tratamiento. Ofrece intervenciones informadas en trauma y un cuidado colaborativo e integrado que apoya y nutre la relación entre padres y bebés desde el momento de la concepción hasta un año después del nacimiento. El objetivo principal de este conversatorio es proporcionar a los clínicos herramientas prácticas para la evaluación temprana del trauma y la disociación, así como un modelo de tratamiento que ayude a prevenir la transmisión del trauma intergeneracional derivado del maltrato infantil, la violación y la agresión sexual, el embarazo no deseado o no planificado, la tragedia relacional, la experiencia traumática obstétrica no resuelta, el trauma del parto y las tensiones familiares, culturales o migratorios.

Abstract
Do you ever find yourself stuck or curious about how to engage in clinical work with clients who are pregnant and also carry unresolved histories of trauma and dissociation? This interview podcast style highlights how unresolved trauma and dissociation in pregnant clients often remain hidden as a result of defensive adaptations, leaving trauma unseen, unknown, and untreated. Research and practice have shown that unresolved trauma and dissociation prior to the childrearing years can impact prenatal bonding, the obstetric experience, and the capacity to parent in a mindful, attuned manner. This presentation will explore the importance of assessment and screening to identify unprocessed trauma in new parents, followed by an introduction to the Calming Womb Family Therapy Model (CWFTM). The Calming Womb Family Therapy Model carefully integrates the results of trauma and dissociation screening tools and questionnaires into case conceptualization and treatment planning. It offers trauma-informed interventions and collaborative care that support and nurture relational attunement between parents and babies from the moment of conception through the first year after birth. The overall goal of this presentation is to provide clinicians with practical tools for early screening and assessment of trauma and dissociation, as well as a treatment model that helps prevent the transmission of intergenerational trauma stemming from childhood maltreatment, rape and sexual assault, unwanted or unplanned pregnancy, relational tragedy, unresolved obstetric traumatic misattunement, birthing trauma, and familial, cultural, or migratory stressors.
