Here it is ( referred to in the last post). Message 225 of the archives. My concern would be the "declarative" way she presents the "memory"...which according to Jim Pularro is not possible. Perhaps she doesn't mean it in a declarative way. Nonetheless, here is the post. Somethin...

Phil's offering of a link to Jim Pularo's Phd thesis on primal therapy and memory et al was more than good for my understanding of primal and RST. It reminds me of that old Woody Allen movie where they're arguing the validity of the the concept of "Global Village" ( Marshall Macluhan's the...

Phil, That was a solid referral ( Jim's work). I couldn't think of a better description of how primal and RST are connected than the one this author is giving in his article found in a journal of the International Primal Association. It's small, and on page 5. Thanks for this...it has opened up a lo...

In comparing RST and primal, I think the idea of "first line" trauma is going to be very important. It's so central to primal. Also to memory recovery people ( Thomas Stone, Cure by Crying) who staged a miracluous recovery by getting at 25 specific traumas. Most of them very early. Primal....

I think Phil's post starts to give more shape to the differences between primal and RST. I also think that this work is evolving and both therapies could improve substantially from comparisons ( especially hearing from people who have done both...and have experience...practical is everything). The c...

This to me contains a lot of key points on the theme of RST vs. Primal. I see a picture being painted. From the standpoint of primal therapy, I can't imagine people "going into the feeling" in such an indirect manner (with whatever comes up) and dealing with the theme of forgiveness (pain)...

Dennis, Thanks for your comments. I was interested to see you had cried for a whole year ( the real purpose of RST). Why in your opinion does self-primalling have less impact than RST? Have you tried self-primalling? The only place I have heard about it in depth was in Thomas Stone's Cure by Crying....
