Personal Statement:

Dr. Deborah Bryon’s therapeutic vision is to bridge Jungian analytical psychology with Andean shamanic wisdom to facilitate deep psychological and spiritual healing. She views trauma not only as a psychological wound but as a fragmentation of the soul or energy body, often lodged outside of linear time. Her approach integrates dreamwork, active imagination, ritual, and embodied practices to access the unconscious and restore wholeness. Grounded in the principle that the psyche is both symbolic and energetic, she helps her analysands reconnect with lost or dissociated parts of themselves by working within a sacred, relational space. Her vision honors the healing power of archetypes, ancestral memory, and direct experience of the numinous as essential elements in the individuation process.

Deborah is the author of three books with the most recent being Time and trauma in analytical psychology and psychotherapy: The wisdom of Andean shamanism (Routledge, 2024). Recent publications include; “The Beauty of the Women in Willem de Kooning’s Paintings”. JAP. (April 2024), Are Psychedelics Really Necessary? In “Psychedelics and Individuation: Essays by Jungian Analysts,” ed. Stein and Corbett, Chiron Publications, (2023), “Implicit States of Connectivity in the Clinical Practice of Jungian Psychoanalysis and Andean Shamanism”. JAP. (June 2023), "Bastard children of the avant-garde: artistic expression in the Cubist and Abstract Expressionist movements and the psychoanalytic process”. JAP. (May 2022), and “Processing Trauma in Psychoanalysis in “Real” Time and in Dreams: The Convergence of Past, Present, and Future During Covid 19”. JAP (June 2021).
