Hi Antigua,
We may be talking about slightly different things. I interpret that you are talking about bringing memories of the past back into consciousness. I am talking about bringing understanding about reasons for current behavior into consciousness. I don't know if the mechanisms are the same or different.
My therapist basically asks "If you accept that there is some reason (which you currently don't know) for your behavior, then can you guess about what that reason might be?" My guesses don't have to be correct, or even reasonable. But eventually, after guessing enough, I come up with something that sort of feels right.
I don't know how the memory stuff works.
