Reflections on Birth

by Anonymous

Artist Statement:

I am confident I experienced deep birth trauma. Those unfamiliar with this concept can review the work of Psychiatrist Stanislaw Grof, on the Prenatal Birth Matrices. So this trauma repeats over and over and over again in life, in patterning, and is very difficult to bridge or break. In my case, I was unable to hold a job or relationship for more than 3 years at maximum, and though the lifelong trauma still plays out, I console myself through the arts, with one story of darkness that has occasional moments of hilarity and brilliant weirdness.
