The threat of the Womb Twin hypothesis

 The Womb Twin Hypothesis states:

Womb twin survivors spend their lives re-enacting the life and death of their womb twin. Nothing is more important than that, even life itself. Once the real pre-birth scene, which is being constantly re-enacted, is made clear, then the re-enactment tends to diminish or cease altogether, greatly to the benefit of the individual.  [more]

The main reason why no one wants to know about the Womb Twin project, or indeed any project involving fetal awareness and womb memories, is that it is far too threating to most mental health professionals.

( Thanks for your visit, by the way; there are few visitors to this blog and the associated blogs and sites, so you are especially welcome.... come back soon!)

The very idea that we may remember the womb is deeply unsettling to some people.  To believe it would be to "open Pandoras box", to quote Peter Hepper. 

Hepper is a psychology professor in Belfast who has worked with fetal awareness and learning for many years, has published extensively on the subject.

( Just one example : McCorry, N. K. and Hepper, P. G. (2007), Fetal habituation performance: Gestational age and sex effects. British Journal of Developmental Psychology, 25: 277–292)

Professor Hepper  knows only too well that his ideas are far too threatening to the received wisdom of most Freudian-trained psychologists, who claim that any memory or impression dating from before the age of three years or so, is a "false memory".  This was  because Freud put so much focus on incest or child sexual abuse,  and not on the nature of memory per se.

Meanwhile, report after report comes out to prove that fetal memory exists.

We remember the womb, and womb twin survivors remember their twin. It is as simple as that, but 90% of the population refuses to believe it - but then 90% of the population are not womb twin survivors, so perhaps it is not so surprising.
