Create a Beba-style Family Clinic!
Castellino Training® is dedicated to the training and personal growth of practitioners who provide support to families and individuals seeking to resolve pre- and perinatal trauma, both physical and emotional. This is the impetus behind the Castellino Training® methodology and the heart of Raymond Castellino’s extensive and groundbreaking work. In 2002, Ray created BEBA — Building and Enhancing Bonding and Attachment, a non-profit research clinic in Santa Barbara, CA devoted to supporting families using these methods. Our practitioner certification program teaches practitioners of the Castellino Training® how to set up their own BEBA-style family clinic and provides the support and practical experience necessary to become an expert in providing service to families with small children.
Why is early trauma resolution important?
Experiences in the womb, at birth, and during early childhood profoundly affect one’s long term physical, emotional, and mental health. Brain and nervous system development, immune system strength, learning capacity, stress coping strategies, emotional stability, and physical coordination are all experience dependent. The sequence of development is laid out genetically but the early environment is the major contributor to how well the systems work. Optimal development occurs with timely resolution of early trauma, resulting in secure attachment between parents and children. Secure attachment provides the base for a healthy life with healthy relationships.
