If this was satire, it would be beautiful satire. But it is not.
Were you traumatized when you were a sperm?

I... I just... no.

'As incredible as it may sound, our experiences prior to conception can lead to deeply held psychological patterns that often influence the rest of our lives.'

Translation: navel-gazing workshy hippy fucks will blame ANYTHING for their perceived defects EXCEPT the fact that they are navel-gazing workshy hippy fucks.

'The trauma of a sperm, ejaculated into the hostile environment of a woman’s vagina, on a quest to find the Holy Grail and impregnate the egg can be the most challenging and bitterly painful psychological experience.'

Painful?

IT IS A CELL. IT HAS NO NERVES, YOU PRATING TWAT.

'If you survived as a sperm, and you are here to tell the tale, it’s likely that you may have endured some devastating experiences that have left their scars.'

I do have this recurring nightmare of bouncing my head off some sort of immense trampoline...

'It’s interesting how once we become conscious in a really somatic and experiential way, we can begin to change the patterns that run our lives.'

...

Fuck off. Just fuck off.

I still have time for neopaganism, because despite all the bullshit there's still some worth there in a few places, but I am really beginning to despise much of what passes for 'alternative therapy'. Rancid junk like this is at the top of the list.

Oh, the eggs can have TRAUMAH as well:

'Likewise, it may be that as an egg you were traumatized. The egg journey is also precarious. Finally if both the egg and the sperm manage to meet and conception occurs, then the tiny blastocyst has to journey down the fallopian tube and inplant into the mothers womb. Only a small percentage of blastocysts manage to survive. Hence we have the potential for trauma at any or several of these stages.'

It's a fucking cell.

The whole process has about as much potential for 'trauma' as SENDING A FLAKE OF DANDRUFF DOWN A LOG FLUME.

A woman after my own heart ^_^

(Although I might draw the line at what some people would consider to be "large quantities.")

I don't even know where to START with this site.

For one thing, if the reason that blastocyst transfer is "traumatic" is that many don't survive, how would the blastocyst KNOW this unless it DID survive? Graffiti written on the wall by its predecessors? (I am now flashing back to "Portal," hardcore-style.)

The line between parody and reality is so far dissolved that, reading the linked text, I found it impossible not to laugh at: 'Where in the UK could you heal the trauma of your sperm and egg experiences. Why in Glastonbury of course!'

The language is quite interesting, actually - 'If you survived as a sperm...', besides the bizarre assumption of continuity of identity, I'd hope there is some sort of crystal-waving recompense for the bitter experience of being ejected by your uncaring, heteronormative penis-father from your otherwise loving testicle-home.

Wow, reading this really makes me want to hit people.

Well, if that's traumatic, what about those babies who were the result of sperm donors - those poor sperm, hitting that sample cup at speed without the padding of a uterus. . .
And then there's the artificial insemination fetii. Who knows how traumatised those eggs were, in that tiny dish, being stabbed with a hypodermic, forced back into the fallopian tube . . .


Sorry, the sarcasm forced me to.
I'll go now. . .
