The concept and practice has been around a lot longer than that, but sure we can agree to disagree. I wasn't intending to lecture anyone.

listen love, i dont need a lecture on psychology. i merely stated that there is a name for this or for processes similar. you then went on to say that its a pseudoscience possibly dangerous (which i agree with, esp rebirthing because there is no safe way to do that), but to discount it merely because its a new school of thought (less than 5 yrs or so) based on what "leaders" in the field suggest is a bit premature. after all, leaders in science also disputed the world was round but we digress, lets agree to disagree

This boy and his sister are just too cute. They could model. Atleast he will have plenty of pics of his childhood from now on with his mom being a photographer.
I love that beach pic

Oh, I thought you meant something mainstream. That's still on the pseudoscience side of things. Most people in the field aren't fans, especially since it has the potential to be dangerous. I don't think pictures are a part of it either.

we had a thread on this (a mom who adopted an older child and tried to re-enact the birth because the child wasn't bonding with her); rebirthing.
