Cycles of development

Stage 0• Stage : Becoming.• Duration : 9 Months(prenatal).• Activity - he prenatal stage lays the

groundwork for all the stages to follow. During these nine months, if all goes well, the baby’s body is developing from the genetic gift of the egg and the sperm to a full-term infant with all life-supporting systems intact or ready to grow to full potential. Simultaneously, the new being is making life-shaping decisions in response to the environment of the womb and the relationship experiences of the mother with other people and with the baby.

Jean Illsley Clarke added this stage to Levin’s original developmental theory

When we revisit Becoming, we may feel more than we think, we may need time to “gestate,” to gather up our feelings and thoughts, and to be cared for and respected for what we are doing even though we may not be able to articulate it well. We may resort to being hurried.

• When pregnant.• When we know we are

going to experience a great change, especially one imposed from outside, without sufficient information to feel confident of ourselves.

Cycles of development

Clues for returning to becoming• Feeling an unaccounted-for

incompleteness.• Lack of joyfulness. • Stuck, not able to get started and without

words to describe that feeling.• Any addiction or compulsive behaviour.• Believing you have to do everything

yourself; trying to start things and not finishing.

• Self-destructive behaviours, recklessness, extreme risk taking.

• Strong and intense reactions to minor disappointments.

• Irrational fears or chronic anxiety not otherwise accounted for.

• Chronic depression; thoughts of suicide.
