Other related training: By Mariko Tanaka Creator of POMR therapy: "Process Oriented Memory Resolution is a psychological method that helps an individual to resolve her/his trauma memories and the belief systems that were developed at the time of trauma. In so doing an individual becomes free from the past memories that prevent them from utilizing their inborn potential." POMR originated in the work and training Mariko Tanaka received with Arnold Mindell's Dream Body and Process Oriented Psychology, Brent Baum's HMR work and John and Helen Watkin's Ego State Work. More Info Dreambody - Process Oriented Psychology Source: http://www.processwork.org What is Process Work? Process work is a cross-disciplinary approach to support individual and collective change. It developed in the 1970's and 1980's when Dr. Arnold Mindell, a Jungian analyst in Zurich, Switzerland, began researching illness as a meaningful expression of the unconscious mind. Also known as Process-Oriented Psychology (POP) or Dreambody work, Process Work offers new ways of working with areas of life that are experienced as problematic or painful. Physical symptoms, relationship problems, group conflicts and social tensions, when approached with curiosity and respect, can lead to new information that is vital for personal and collective growth. With its roots in Jungian Psychology, Taoism and physics, Process Work believes that the solution to a problem is contained within the disturbance itself and provides a practical framework through which individuals, couples, families and groups can connect with greater awareness and creativity. Training by Brent Baum HMR Work Brent Baum, HMR: "The work we're doing is client centered, body centered, and the body is the key. The body seems to remember everything. So if you trust and learn how to dialogue with the body correctly, then memory access and release is fairly simple. It's not that complicated. The technique has two parts. One is simply a verbal tracking technique based on the idea that a trauma hypnotizes you. A trauma overwhelms your nervous system, either physically or emotionally, and causes your flight/fight/freeze response to react. When that system kicks in, consciousness is actually paused a millisecond prior to being overwhelmed. So every trauma essentially creates a millisecond pause of consciousness. When that occurs, it is stored as a hologram, a three-dimensional image. When that is encoded, we kind of emotionally numb out as the scene goes on. Then adrenaline hits our system. We're physically stronger. We make it through the event. But essentially we've been hypnotized by a moment of 'overwhelm.' So it's a little tricky, but you don't really need to be hypnotized. What most of us need is to be de-hypnotized. The trauma hypnotizes us and causes an automatic encoding of an altered state." |
