Thomas Verny, MD

Dr. Verny was recently a guest speaker in my beloved Born Free Method community call, and there were so many hot takes that I am compelled to release this one as a podcast episode. Typically, these calls are reserved for Born Free Method community members, who also get to ask questions live (which you'll hear in the recording), and they get access to the full video recording. If you're interested in learning more enroll HERE.

Thomas (he asked that I call him by his first name) is one of my heroes, and he rubs shoulders with other heroes of mine, like Gabor Mate. He is the author of several books, but I recommend starting with The Embodied Mind (also on audible) or The Unborn Child. He is regarded as “the father of pre- and perinatal psychology”, a field which begs the question of how we treat ourselves, others, and even our unborn children might impact our long-term health and the health of our children (present, future). His wisdom is unbelievable. You're going to love this one.

* What is perinatal psychology?

* What is life?

* What is consciousness and the psyche and where do they come from?

* The mind versus the brain

* Darwinian versus Lamarckian theories of evolution

* Transgenerational trauma

* Epigenetics

* And much much more...

Please share with your friends if you found any value, and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen. I take your input seriously!
