Jeffery Raff, author of The Practice of Ally Work
Deborah Bryon’s work is not only an introduction to Peruvian shamanism, nor simply an effort to comprehend shamanism in psychological terms. It is at the same time a personal account of the most difficult part of depth work — the struggle to integrate what one has experienced in the deeper inner realms into one’s ordinary […]

From time immemorial, shamans of many cultures have been able to lift the veil between ordinary and paranormal reality. In this fascinating book, Dr. Bryon describes how she learned from Peruvian Shamans how to consciously pass through that veil in her own life. Much like Legolas in The Lord of the Rings, she learned to […]

This book really opens up the secret world of the Inca shamans to people who are unfamiliar with the Incan world. The descriptions are vivid and exciting. The text is very seductive and brings you into a whole new way of seeing the world. It’s a great read!

~Author of The Black Nightgown In Lessons of the Inca Shamans, the reality of the shamanic world comes alive. Deborah Bryon finely weaves these energies into a Jungian-informed psychotherapy, but also goes beyond the world of image and symbol into what she calls the energetic collective. I highly recommend this book.

“Deborah Bryon’s Time and Trauma in Analytical Psychology and Psychotherapy provides a wide ranging perspective on experiences central to contemporary depth psychology – i.e., the subjective experience of time and trauma. In this refreshingly integrative volume, she draws extensively on her experiences as a psychologist and Jungian psychoanalyst as well as her extensive immersion in Andean shamanistic […]
Professor Dean Rickles, Ph.D.
“Deborah Bryon presents a novel view of the roots of trauma based on her own transformative, spiritual experiences in Peru, combined with her clinical encounters as a Jungian analyst. What emerges is a fascinating insight into how trauma gets stuck in time, quite literally frozen in an atemporal, unconscious realm, supplemented with an understanding on […]

After being adopted and inducted by Peruvian paqos, Bryon seamlessly combines her personal experience with theoretical concepts to highlight practices of connection and compassion. This is a one of a kind, can’t-put-down book, a roadmap for […]
