Some behaviour in 22q doesn’t come from 22q alone.
If you’ve ever wondered why certain fears don’t shift, why medical settings trigger reactions that seem completely out of proportion, or why your child is fine everywhere except one specific place — this webinar is for you.
Early medical experiences such as hospital stays, surgeries, and procedures in the first weeks and months of life happen before a child has words for them. But the body doesn’t forget. What gets stored can show up later as behaviour that’s hard to reach and easy to misattribute.
This webinar explains what that looks like, why it happens, and what can be done about it.
What you’ll learn
- How early experiences are stored in the body and what triggers actually are — and why they make complete sense once you understand the early history
- What preverbal trauma looks like in 22q across different ages — in babies, children, teenagers, and adults
- The five body responses your child may be showing, and how to recognise them
- Practical, trauma-sensitive strategies you can use straight away — slowing the pace, narrating steps, offering choices
- Treatment options including EMDR and the Lovett method, and how to ask for them even when access is limited
