Time and Trauma in Analytical Psychology and Psychotherapy
Dr Deborah Bryon will share concepts from her book, Time and Trauma in Analytical Psychology and Psychotherapy, which explores the experience of time in psychoanalysis and Andean shamanism.
There are ways to work through unresolved trauma by expanding how we conceptualize both implicit and nonverbal atemporal experience, drawing from the rituals, narratives, and medicine of Andean shamans and quantum theory.
Shifting between subjective states in time is fundamental in trauma work and psychoanalysis. Integrating traumatic experiences that have become split off and held in “timeless” unconscious states of implicit memory is an essential aspect of psychic healing. Becoming familiar with the Andean shamans’ understanding of atemporal experience, as well as learning about their ways of “grounding” the experience consciously, can offer a route through which psychoanalysis and therapy may deepen the therapeutic process and open new states of consciousness. Theories developed in quantum physics are included to parallel the shamans’ experience and for describing the analytic process.
Dr Deborah Bryon has a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Denver. She completed her undergraduate degree in Psychology at UCLA in 1976, master’s degree in Clinical Psychology in 1979 at United States International University, and a B.F.A. in Drawing at Metropolitan State College of Denver. Deborah is a Diplomate Jungian Analyst receiving her education through the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts. For the last several years she has received in-depth training with Q-ero shamans in
Peru. In conjunction with her private practice, Deborah has taught classes in the psychology departments of the University of Colorado and Metropolitan State College of Denver.
Since 2005, Deborah has received in-depth training with Q’ero shamans in Peru and has undergone a series of sacred initiations with the shamans she has worked with. Deborah is writing, teaching classes, and leading groups combining Jungian depth psychology, psychoanalysis, and shamanism. She is the author of several articles on shamanism and psychoanalysis.
