…hope of getting one’s needs met or, put another way, in order to hold out hope for being loved.

Winnicott’s true self and false self are pretty much the same, with qualifications I will mention. Winnicott saw the true self as the source of creativity, self-confidence, and contented satisfaction in one’s life and the false self as the one we develop to please others, which focuses on compliance and is essentially unreal and “phoney” — focused as it is on satisfying the needs of others in a roundabout, but thoroughly unconscious, way of trying to get one’s own needs filled.

These aspects of personhood might also be related to Freud’s earlier postulation of an ego and an id, but they present a thorough reconceptualization of them, with the id emerging as a true self and a source of great value and the ego revealing its unreal roots and its nature as comprised of defenses. This is hugely significant.

He has been called the first primal therapist in that he described the first birth primals — actual observable relivings of birth — spontaneously occurring to some of his patients during their sessions with him. Thus he was contributing to the trend beyond mere talking association or dream analysis as ways of accessing and integrating this material.

True Self and False Self

Winnicott presaged Arthur Janov’s assertion of the real self and the unreal self with his postulation of the true self and the false self. According to Janov, the real self is the healthy self that one would have been if one did not have painful traumas requiring the establishment of defenses, which block clear perception of reality; and the real self is recoverable through deep experiential psychotherapy, specifically, Janov would say, that of primal therapy. The unreal self, Janov contends, is the unhealthy self we all develop in order to get our needs met, which involves a denial of our real needs and compliance with outside others in order to receive safety and the…

…the mere “talking cure” of psychoanalysis and encouraged the “acting out” of the birth trauma during his clients’ sessions. Rank pushed for his patients to complete their therapy-psychoanalysis, which was similarly at odds with Freud’s insistence on an ongoing and unending psychoanalysis. In these two ways, he presaged therapeutic directives of primal and similar therapies half a century later.

Donald W. Winnicott — First Primal Therapist? Birth Relivings, Importance of Birth — Negative Imprints but Positive Effects, Too

Another psychoanalyst, and pediatrician as well, Winnicott (1958) also held that birth is remembered and is important. He insisted that the birth trauma is real, but he disagreed with Rank and Fodor that it is always traumatic. He suggested that a normal, nontraumatic, birth has many positive benefits, particularly for ego development. Still, he contended that traumatic birth is permanently etched in memory and leaves a lifetime psychological scar. Winnicott (1958) also suggested the possibility of prenatal trauma.

Based upon the dream, fantasy, and other patterns of associations arising in his patients in psychoanalysis, Rank postulated a birth trauma, which he saw as a critical event in laying down in each of us particular patterns of thinking, motivation, and emotion for the rest of our lives. Notable among these prototypes was a feeling of a paradise once known but somehow lost, a separation anxiety caused by the separation at birth, and a resulting futile and lifelong struggle to re-unite with that golden age and that early beloved. Essentially, these things together, according to Rank, amounted to an underlying — disguised but prevalent — desire of humans to return to the womb. Rank also incurred Freud’s disapproval in that he went beyond…

“The template for all you think was created at birth."

“Birth trauma creates a feeling of a paradise lost, a separation anxiety, and a futile and lifelong struggle to re-unite with that golden age and that early beloved and to return to the womb."

“The Next Frontier in Evolution and About the Author,” this amazing mistake is explained and I put forward several explanations — one psychological and one evolutional — for the persistence of this obvious faux pas in science.

Otto Rank — Psychoanalysis, Birth Trauma, Foundations of Personality and Some Myth, Separation Anxiety

Other early psychoanalysts disagreed with Freud on this. Otto Rank is the most notable of these. Following Freud’s basic psychoanalytic reasoning for personality patterns in early infancy, he asserted basic patterns of experience and ideas that are rooted in even earlier experience. Rank (1929) claimed the deepest, most fundamental patterns of these personality constructs originated at the time of birth, which Freud thought was not possible.

Most importantly, he delineates how the result of this diminution of potentiality is projected outwards into the problems and crises of violence, wars, and the mediocrity of modern personality on the scale of the masses and the macrocosms of the group, society, and global events.

In describing the problems of “normality” as rooted in a deprivational and deformational series of traumas from our earliest biological history, Wasdell emphasizes that this gives us the possibility to change that tragic social and personality outcome by focusing on the prevention and healing of such traumas. Thus, he holds out the vision of a new person and new society as an outcome of the efforts directed at the earliest laying down of human experience.

Early Theorists: Psychoanalysis and Birth

Sigmund Freud — Birth as Prototype for All Anxiety

While Freud (1927) disregarded major effects of birth on personality, he still saw the birth experience as the prototype of all later anxiety. His overall disregard of birth, however, was largely influenced by the belief — although discredited (see Chamberlain, 1988, and below), still common in mainstream psychology and medicine today — that a newborn does not possess the neurological capacity for consciousness at birth. Remember that in Chapter 2,…

"Our supposed “human nature,” actually our Unnatural Self, is fashioned at birth and before."

David Wasdell — Sperm/Egg and First Trimester Imprints, Devolutional Model of Development, Social and Historical Implications

One of the more exciting theoreticians in this already provocative field is David Wasdell.3 Wasdell’s major contribution lies in his relating these earliest events to social and cultural patterns.3 He describes a process of devolution of consciousness beginning at around conception and proceeding through other reductions caused by traumas at implantation, in the womb, and at birth.

Most importantly, he delineates how the result of this diminution of potentiality is projected outwards into the problems and crises of violence, wars, and the mediocrity of modern personality on the scale of the masses and the macrocosms of the group, society, and global events.

The perspective and the findings of this book, are, I believe, the missing element and the key to understanding the ills of the world and the human condition and to finally doing something about it.

But as in all things, I, like the rest of my generation, stand upon the shoulders of the greats who have come before and the research already done.

So that is where we need to start. Next, in Chapter 5, focusing specifically on birth, I begin the review for you of what has so far been conceived in relation to our life and our worldview in the arena of prenatal and perinatal psychology.

Let us begin.

…harmonious synergy that exists in Nature. Yes, we are different.

We are different; and what we find out in this book is that that difference is what creates all our “advances” of “civilization” ... but also is resulting in an ecocidal, humanicidal plunge at the moment that will end all life on this planet within decades.6

In this book, I go deeply into the specific experiences that commonly occur in the late stages of gestation. I detail them and show how they have created the “matrix of human events.” I make clear just exactly why we have engaged in holocausts; wars; witch burnings; bigotry; greed and the creation of a dominant, moneyed elite; and environmental destruction. While congruent with and inspired by Grof’s and deMause’s work, this book presents entirely new material. These are discoveries and insights that are rooted in my research of many decades in the prenatal and perinatal, and all its related fields, and my own experiences in deep re-experience of birth and before, and the observations I have had of my clients in the various experiential modalities.

Biological Foundations of Myths

Paul Brenner (1991), a biologist and obstetrician, has presented at conferences and in workshops on the idea of the biological foundations of myth. For example, he relates basic biological, cellular events to biblical events described in Genesis. He also links male and female adult behavior to basic patterns of sperm and egg behavior and to events prior to and surrounding conception. He has said that male and female behavior are just sperm and egg activity grown up! 

Elizabeth Noble — Cellular Consciousness and Spirituality, 

Empirical Underpinnings Elizabeth Noble (1993) is an educator in the field of pregnancy and childbirth and is a student of Farrant’s. She published a comprehensive overview of this new field, titled Primal Connections, in which she does not hesitate to stress the issues of cellular consciousness and the spirituality that appears to coincide with the re-experience of these earliest events. She provides empirical and theoretical avenues for understanding how memory can occur at such early times. Some of these are consistent with mainstream physicalist…

Thus, oxygen insufficiency, or oxygen “malnutrition,” for the prenate, or “fetus” is what Briend was bringing to our awareness. Elsewhere, I have pointed out, bringing in research from anthropology and related fields, how this fetal malnutrition is a product of our standing upright, becoming bipedal.5 I have explained how this is the major difference between humans and all other planetmates. Humans are the ones who suffer. Homo sapiens is the traumatized species ... the one with birth pain. Thus, it is the neurotic one.

At birth and before, we experience pain unparalleled in the world of Nature and other species. This vast difference is metaphorically represented by the story in Genesis, wherein we are cast out of the Garden ... no longer to enjoy and benefit from the…
