DEEP MEMORY PROCESS
 
Deep Memory Process®

Deep Memory Process or DMP® is a regression therapy developed by Jungian Analyst, Dr. Roger Woolger that incorporates a creative synthesis of active imagination, psychodrama, and transpersonal psychologies.  This unique blend includes methods of Jung, Reich and various shamanic & spiritual traditions and aids in bringing consciousness to painful experiences that have become “charged” as psychological complexes in the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies.

“A complex arises when we suffer a defeat in life.”
                                                                                  Carl Jung

Complex patterns are the result of an imprint on the soul due to unresolved issues that have occurred sometime in the past.  They interfere with all levels of our lives and affect relationships, including the one we have with ourselves.  They can sound like: “I’m all alone”, “I’ll never be able to do it”, “They always leave me”, “I don’t know what to do”, etc.  They can also manifest as unexplained symptoms in the physical body.

Deep exploration of the unconscious using DMP® brings identification and understanding of original sources of pain to those parts of us that have been affected by trauma.  When the blocked energy is uncovered and aspects of the trauma are integrated on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels, the soul can release the memory and healing can occur.  Awareness of thoughts, feelings and sensations can then be brought into the conscious present day experience.

Deep Memory Process® may help in the treatment of:

• Adult or childhood sexual abuse and other traumas
• Domestic violence
• Post-traumatic reactions to war, torture and devastating lost
• Self-esteem and personal empowerment
• Interpersonal relationship difficulties

And it can help:


• Bring consciousness to core issues and complexes that run your life
• Develop somatic awareness of deep memories to release them from your body

What Happens In A DMP Session?
 

Prior to the DMP® session, an interview is conducted and a personal history is obtained to find out what recurring issues are causing problems for the client.  The interview covers the lifespan of the client and touches on significant events such as medical history, accidents, traumas, etc. Once the issues are identified, and the DMP® process is explained, the session can begin.

Deep Memory Process® is conducted by lying on the mat or floor with eyes closed.  The session is guided by an experienced practitioner of the work who usually sits on the floor next to the client.

After a short relaxation, regression begins and focus is directed to the recent issue or presenting complaint.  The thoughts, images, feelings and physical sensations that arise take the client into a memory of their past or a story with a character is engaged using active imagination in order to explore where blockages occur that are contributing to what the client is currently experiencing. 

By using active imagination and psychodrama, the client is encouraged to experience the story and its “charged” moments as vividly as possible. In the intensity of these “charged” moments a variety of physical sensations may occur that can aid in spontaneous releasing of blocked energy associated with the old trauma.  The client is then encouraged to take the character and the story to its completion.  This is a very important part of the process because the thoughts, feelings and sensations during the trauma, become the complexes that arise when we “experience a defeat in life”.  The character is then guided to resolve any complexes and to make connections between the story and the current issues that arise in the clients present day experience. Often, a client will feel a shift in the presenting problem after only one session.  It is possible that several sessions will be recommended to - or requested by - the client to continue the healing process.

What Happens After A Session?

Deep Memory Process © is a powerful technique. Therapeutic support is recommended for healing any unresolved present day symptoms.  Inner child work, trauma recovery and 12-step programs for addiction can be very beneficial and in some cases, a necessity for continued psychological and spiritual growth.
