We are proud to announce the launch of a series of virtual events hosted by the Identity Development Institute.

As the film was released a floodgate was opening globally around the subject of trauma. IN UTERO became an important part of that dialogue and, in the process, producer Stephen Gyllenhaal discovered a psychological methodology out of Germany that took things to a different level.

While IN UTERO outlined the problems of early trauma, it did not address any remedies. But there was a solution.

So in 2017, Stephen retired from narrative filmmaking, trained extensively in this work and founded The Identity Development Institute, to bring the methodology to North America.

The Institute's mission is to grow a community of practitioners, researchers, and educators who are Early Trauma-informed across North America.

The Institute offers experiential training programs and raise awareness of Early Trauma through various media sources.

Each month we will have a virtual screening of IN UTERO, spanning over 3 - 4 days, culminating with a conversation about an expert in the field of prenatal bonding and attachment. 

February 2022: Raylene Phillips, President of APPPAH
April 2022: Michael Trout, Founder of the Infant-Parent Institute
May 2022: Rachel Yehuda, Director of the Center for Psychedelic Psychotherapy and Trauma Research at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai

And many more to come!
