Seminars, Workshops, and
Events
One of my goals is to find avenues to teach the core
essence, the guiding principles, and specific ways to
incorporate the incredible benefits from the field of
prenatal and perinatal psychology, energy psychology,
and integrated early development. Specifically to help
various professionals groups, organizations, practitioners,
and interested persons to incorporate these benefits
and information into their unique profession and life.
The material is so profound, so relevant, and offers
new hope of how we can prevent early traumas and constrictive
life patterns and how we can support wholeness and self-actualizing
patterns from the very beginning of life. It holds a
beautiful message that speaks to new avenues to meet
our deepest needs to be seen, heard, respected, loved,
safe, and included from the beginning of life.
Whether we are working with adults
or with children and young families, PPN gives a new
lens to view our patterns, challenges, and health issues.
Energy psychology is helping to give us more elegant
and self-empowering tools to shift our constricted
patterns into more life-enhancing ones. -

I tried for years to get past the terrible birth experience I had with
my son. No therapy seemed to clear away the grief and anger I had over the loss
of the beautiful birth experience I had planned on having. My son is healthy.
Wasn’t I supposed to be happy with that? Why couldn’t I get over it? Then, when
my son was 17 years old, I had a session with Wendy Anne McCarty. Through the
TAT process she guided me through the pain to a place of peace with my birth
experience. The pain and PTSD symptoms were resolved after that one session. I
am now able to carry positive feelings into mothering my children as well as my
work with mothers as a childbirth educator and lactation consultant.
I’m free! --T. Lear, IBCLC, LCCE
This one-day workshop
provides an opportunity to come together with other mothers to address
unresolved issues, to have the opportunity to do two TAT® guided group healing
processes for you and your baby, and receive tools to work with at home. Dr.
McCarty’s experience helping moms and babies heal these wounds has revealed the
potential for truly elegant transformation and relief using the Tapas
Acupressure Technique® group process.
We will first create a
healing group intention. One in which each person can share what they want and
not have to reveal anything they do not wish to. Much of the processing will be
done individually using the TAT® process, a gentle process
in which you hold certain acupressure points while quietly focusing on the
aspects of what you want to heal. Dr. McCarty and her staff will be there to
guide you, support you, and answer your questions.

Utilizing Energy Psychology Techniques during Pregnancy:
Empowering Parents to Decrease Stress, Heal, & Optimize
One-Day Workshop, April 27 with Dr. McCarty
In the 21st century, Prenatal and Perinatal (PPN) Psychology's knowledge and understanding of the growing baby's sentient consciousness/sensitive nature as a human being has redefined the needs and opportunities during pregnancy to set in motion life-long patterns for baby and parents. In our fast-paced, stress-prone lives, healing tools during pregnancy need to be not only gentle and effective, but also need to be tools that can be easily incorporated into daily life. Energy Psychology (EP) techniques empower practitioners and families to be able to address, heal, and intentionally lift levels of health and well-being during this vulnerable procreative period. This one-day seminar gives practitioners and parents the conceptual knowledge and tools to immediately incorporate PPN knowledge and EP techniques. Drawing on families' healing experiences in her clinical practice, Dr. McCarty leads participants through the process of identifying key origins of current stress patterns and the use of three specific EP techniques to gently work with them. Participants practice techniques as they work with their own patterns in class. This approach can be utilized and incorporated into any PPN and healing practice and is readily taught to families to empower their own transformation.

Being with Babies: What Babies Are Teaching
Us
Supporting Babies’ Integrated
Wholeness from the Beginning of Life
One weekend 12-hour course specifically designed for
everyone involved with babies from preconception through
infancy: Health professionals, midwives, nurses, doulas,
psychotherapists, lactation consultants, childbirth and
parent educators, social workers, early childhood specialists,
and other healing arts practitioners who support families
having their babies.
The field of prenatal and perinatal
psychology has been mapping our life in the womb, birth,
and early infancy from the baby’s point of view. New understandings
demonstrate babies are conscious, aware, learning intensely,
and communicating meaningfully from the beginning of
life. Therapeutic work with babies reveals new ways to
support wholeness and to understand and help babies’ stress
patterns.
This dynamic and interactive seminar provides a new
lens, a way of perceiving babies that can be effectively
added to all interactions and interventions with babies
and children.
We stand at the threshold of a new
era of understanding how to best help babies in the
womb and at birth create an optimal blueprint for life.
During the 20th century, we gained an immense understanding
of infant development and optimal early conditions
as technologies enabled avenues of investigation such
as the contribution of brain imagining to understanding
the critical relationship of social-emotional experience
to brain development; and, ultrasound imaging’s
contribution to understanding babies meaningful behavior
in the womb. The vital importance of our earliest experiences
in the womb and at birth for lifelong health and well-being
is increasing supported.
Now the next level of understanding
and knowledge of babies is emerging from the field
of prenatal and perinatal psychology. Documented clinical
experience with babies has revealed babies’ capabilities
to be conscious, aware, and communicative (even in
early prenatal life) far beyond what has been recognized
until recently.
During the 20th century, we focused
on the ‘biologically
based’ infant development. Our understanding of
babies in the 21st century now grows to appreciate that
CONSCIOUSNESS is central to understanding and supporting
babies to flourish and grow in our evolving world. Larry
Dossey, M.D., in his book, Reinventing Medicine:
Beyond Mind-Body to a New Era of Healing, leads
us to comprehend the value of medicine that reorients
us to include CONSCIOUSNESS. Now we begin to reorient
our perceptions, conceptions, and ways of being with
babies towards the greater connection between mind-body-spirit
from the beginning of human life. New possibilities of
optimizing human potential even in the womb are emerging
when we bring consciousness into our model and our ways
of being with babies.
During this course, participants will:
-Experience
subjective changes in state of being associated with
moving into slower, more coherent state during centering
exercise.
-Gain familiarity with the field of prenatal and
perinatal psychology (PPN) by being introduced to the
field’s
history, key principles, and clinical examples.

differentiate models of early development and be introduced
to:
A new model of development and its key principles that
integrate mind-body-spirit and PPN research and clinical
findings,
Theoretical and clinical frameworks that hold
integrated model.
-Gain appreciation of the importance of
self-reflection of practitioner beliefs about babies and
early development and of working with own implicit life-patterns
associated with own early experience.
-Gain familiarity
with the clinical research and theoretical framework of
our sentient nature from the beginning of life.
-Learn key
early imprinting experiences that can lead to life enhancing
or trauma based development.
-Learn identifiable impacts
of prenatal and birth experiences and interventions on
imprinted physiology and infant behavior that directly
affect bonding, ability to self-regulate, and nurse successfully.
-Learn
key elements of PPN oriented history prior to pregnancy,
during pregnancy, and during postpartum for baby, mother
and father.
-Learn key principles for Being with Babies that
incorporate PPN clinical findings and research.
-Watch video
footage of therapeutic interactions with babies and experience
PPN and Being with Babies principles
directly.
-Experience and learn specific new recommendations
for interacting with babies to support resolution of early
trauma, successful bonding and nursing, and optimal growth
and communication.
-Have the opportunity to discuss issues
in incorporating this course’s material into their
professional practice with young families.
Access Blueprints for Change: Healing Adult
Patterns
Rooted in Prenatal and Perinatal Experience
Compelling Implications form Prenatal and Perinatal
Clinical Experience and Research
This dynamic and interactive seminar
provides a “PRIMER” in
prenatal and perinatal psychology. New research indicates
womb/birth/bonding experiences profoundly shape our subconscious,
brain, emotional, physical and relationship orientation.
Growing evidence relates many adult dysfunctional/trauma
patterns to our earliest experiences. Participants
learn to identify key potential early imprints and later
identifiable life patterns.
Our prenatal and birth experience and ensuing blueprint
form our subconscious programming, which functions as
automatically as our heart and breath. This core infrastructure
determines our very perceptions, conceptions, and beliefs
we have about our world, our relationships, and ourselves.
How we are conceived, carried, and birthed matters greatly.
As we learn to identify and understand key early blueprints,
a whole new realm of understanding of current patterns
emerges. We become more empowered to heal the limiting
patterns. By recognizing, acknowledging, and healing
constrictive core early imprinting, we become freer to
discover more of who we are and help others become more
of who they are.
Attention is given to how this new lens of prenatal
and perinatal psychology can strengthen and expand assessment
and intervention in a wide variety of healing art practices.
Practitioners are encouraged to examine their own early
experience and current beliefs and patterns.
During this course, participants will:
-Gain
familiarity with the field of prenatal and perinatal
psychology (PPN) by being introduced to the field’s
history, key principles, and clinical examples.
-Learn to
differentiate models of early development and be introduced
to
A new model of development and its key principles that
integrate mind-body-spirit and PPN research and clinical
findings,
Theoretical and clinical frameworks that hold
integrated model.
-Gain appreciation of the importance of
self-reflection of practitioner beliefs about early development
and of working with own implicit life-patterns associated
with own early experience.
-Gain familiarity with the clinical
research and theoretical framework of our sentient nature
from the beginning of life and implications over the lifespan.
-Learn
key prenatal and perinatal imprinting experiences that
can lead to life enhancing or trauma based development.
-Learn
key elements of PPN oriented adult history and assessment.
-Learn
identifiable patterns seen in adulthood that are associated
with early PPN experience.
-Gain awareness of the importance
of addressing adult patterns as becoming parents.
-Watch
video footage of therapeutic interactions with babies and
experience principles directly.
-Learn, experience, and
practice utilizing one energy psychology tool (EFT) for
working with PPN patterns.
-Have the opportunity to discuss
issues in incorporating this course’s material into
own professional practice.
A third course is available and can
be modified as a third day to the weekend seminars, or
as a separate workshop. It can be given as a one-day
as described below. The weekend seminars offer more extensive
theoretical understanding and video therapeutic vignettes
for more in-depth study of the impact of prenatal and
perinatal period and ways of being with babies. This
workshop is to learn an energy psychology healing modality
to work with current issues utilizing a prenatal and
perinatal perspective.
Healing Early Prenatal/Birth Stress Patterns:
Utilizing Energy Psychology Tools
I offer this workshop
because I find the combination of the prenatal and perinatal
psychology perspective along with EFT (Emotional Freedom
Technique) process to be highly successful in helping people
change. I utilize EFT very effectively in working with
adults, parents, children, and babies to work a wide variety
of issues and problems. It can be used in person or by
phone. It can be easily taught to families for follow-up
at home. I find it very empowering and gentle at the same
time. I’m very excited about
the new possibilities of healing more elegantly than
ever. Dr. McCarty
This 6-hour workshop provides practitioners with basic
assessment and specific repatterning tools to identify
and release life-diminishing/dysfunctional patterns anchored
in our earliest imprinted prenatal and perinatal experiences.
Participants will have the opportunity to examine and
practice energy psychology tools with their own prenatal
and perinatal material.
Participants in this one-day seminar receive:
-Brief introduction to prenatal and perinatal
psychology and key principles
-Learn key nodal key early
imprinting experiences that lead to life-enhancing or diminishing
patterns
-Receive prenatal and perinatal assessment/history
form
-Introduction to the field of energy psychology
-Introduction
to the specific healing tool, EFT
-Observe Dr. McCarty utilize
EFT to work with prenatal and perinatal issues
-Utilize
EFT in practice sessions with own early imprinting
-Integration-mapping
and addressing life themes and patterns with EFT
-Discussion
of application in participant’s practices
and personal use
How we are conceived, carried, and birthed matters greatly.
Research spanning multiple disciplines and avenues of
clinical practice dramatically illuminates the incredible
opportunity during each stage of prenatal and perinatal
experience to set in motion life enhancing or life diminishing
core patterns.
Our prenatal and birth experience
and ensuing blueprint form our subconscious programming,
which functions as automatically as our heart and breath.
This core infrastructure determines our very perceptions,
conceptions, and beliefs we have about our world, our
relationships, and ourselves. Most people have stress/trauma
imprints from this early period that anchor many life-diminishing
patterns, such as fears, phobias, eating disorders,
unresolved grief, relationship problems, self-esteem
issues, career blockages, and issues of isolation and
Divine homesickness.
As we learn to identify and understand key early blueprints,
a whole new realm of understanding of current patterns
emerges. We become more empowered to heal the limiting
patterns. By recognizing, acknowledging, and healing
constrictive core early imprinting, we become freer to
discover more of who we are and help others become more
of who they are.
EFT (Emotional
Freedom Technique) is a very powerful effective and
easy tool to learn and incorporate in one’s personal life and into any
healing/supporting practice. EFT is a unique emotional
form of acupuncture. While the person tunes into the
problem, they tap a series of acupressure points. This
system addresses the structure of how the problem is
held in the person’s energy system. It ‘unlocks’ the
problematic patterns and helps to restore the innate
growth-oriented flow of energy. People then naturally
move towards more life-enhancing thoughts, feelings,
choices, and actions.
