What is the significance of birth trauma in psychological theories?

Question

Accepted Answer

According to Osho, birth is intrinsically traumatic—a view Freud intuited—but psychological theories remain partial because they rely on outside observation. Prenatal and birth shocks imprint the nervous system and echo through life, colored by the mother’s states, yet their ultimate meaning is grasped only from the “insider’s” awareness. When consciousness is fully awake (as in a Buddha), even through death and conception, the trauma is witnessed and thus ceases to bind.
