Rebirthing Therapy

Rebirthing Therapy is used to treat attachment disorder. Children who are adopted sometimes go through this therapy to create a strengthened bond between themselves and their new parents. Essentially, the child is wrapped in blankets and smothered between pillows on the floor to symbolize the womb of birth. The child is then almost smothered pushed through the hole in the blankets and pillows to be re-born.

This is the story of Candice Newmaker who did not make it through the therapy. She smothered to death.
