Womb Twin Survivors: The Lost Twin in the Dream of the Womb Paperback – March 1, 2011

Validation for being a twin survivor

Why read this book if you're not a twin, parent of a twin, or a twin survivor? The theory behind this book is that all the experiences you had in the womb are hard-wired into your brain as a vague but profound impression. (1) This book depends absolutely on a single assumption, that at a very early stage in your development you were capable of some kind of awareness of being in the womb... a vague and confused impression, more like a dream. 2) Many decades of research and exploration have revealed that an imprint of your time in the womb still remains, deeply rooted in the most primitive part of your brain. This vague and ineffable impression is known as `The Dream of the Womb' for it cannot be described as a `memory' exactly. "Like everyone else on this planet you have a Dream of the Womb, which is constantly being re-enacted in your life. Nothing in the world is more important than that. Your Dream drives your choices, fuels your desires, and controls your fears. It is a strange place but everyone has a dream like this. It seems to be at the very back of your mind, as deep and primitive as can be. Yet at the same time, it is just behind your eyes and creates a kind of prism through which you see the world and everything in it. It is a memory of long ago but it seems to be happening right now." (3) What you have made of your new-born world has depended very much on your experience of what came before birth. (4) Your Dream was built as your brain was built. The whole pre-birth experience is `hard-wired' into the neurons of your brain. It is integral to your personality, written into your mind and seemingly inescapable. Your whole life so far has consisted of keeping your Dream alive. (5) Ultrasound in the 80s revolutionized our understanding of just how common it can be for twins and multiples to begin life, but result in single births. Making up 10 % of the population i.e. 600 million people worldwide, this group may have every reason to be happy with life, but many report that deep down there is always a distressing sense of Something Wrong.(6 If you have unexplained psychological distress, problems with relationships, a fragile sense of self and a tendency toward self-sabotage, consider that previously inexplicable behaviors such as these, may be approached and healed when the behavior is understood as a constant re-enactment of the Dream of the Womb. This book contains examples of the Dream that lost womb twin survivors experience, why their experiences occur, describes healing approaches that can work for them, and why re-enactment tends to diminish or cease altogether, greatly to the benefit of the individual. "However strange the feelings you have had all your life about being a twin, they are true and real. The overwhelming feelings you have often experienced, which appear to be quite disproportionate in the circumstances, have a real basis in lost memories." (7) Today we have evidence of lost twins and the effects of pre-birth events. Read this book. If the shoe fits...inform yourself, and consider the possibilities of a healed life.1) p 79; 2) p 137; 3) p 169; 4) p 145; 5) p 169; 6) p 199; 7) p 295.

I bought "Womb Twin Survivors" a couple of weeks ago and I finally received my copy last week. It is an amazing help to anyone who is, or think they might be, a Womb Twin Survivor. This book is a wonderful way to find information about those little lost twins.

Thouroughly researched and clear and informative book for those who are new to this subject and also the ones who already know much about this topic. A must read for womb twin survivors, as it is an eye-opener and the beginning of healing for many.

I really enjoyed reading this book, it is a good guide to understand many aspects of your personality. The main thing in my opinion are your feelings, there wont be any genuine proof that will make you believe or not if you are a twin survivor, just follow what your heart is saying!

eine wirkliche Hilfe. Es erklärt die Entwicklung von Zwillingen im Mutterleib, zeigt detailliert, wie und warum ein Fötus unter Umständen nicht überlebt und welche (lebenslangen) Folgen dies für den überlebenden Zwilling haben kann. Doch dieses Buch gibt auch Hoffnung. Es gehört in die Hände eines jeden Arztes oder Psychotherapeuten. Traurig, dass wir uns hier zu Lande so schwer tun mit dem Thema...

Interesting read, outlining key features of this syndrome.
