Jungian Advanced Motor ProcessingTM (JAMPTM) the Future of Mental Health Treatment: 38 Cases on Its Efficacy & Validation to Induce Measurable Positive Change
This paper is about an advanced treatment method known as Jungian Advanced Motor Processing (JAMPTM) and its effects on healing trauma using three scales: Post-Traumatic Cognitive Inventory (PTCI) [1], Adverse Childhood Experiences Questionnaire (ACE) [2] and Somatic Symptom Scale (SSS or PHQ15) [3]. JAMPTM is a new treatment that addresses issues such as complex trauma, illnesses, and mental health disorders. During a 90-minute session with a JAMPTM therapist, the client will listen to a heartbeat sound while viewing a calming image where a positive affirmation appears on the screen. The combination of image and sound, as well as the bilateral stimulation, accesses the triggered defensive mechanism of the traumatic part of the person (the Complex). This traumatized person begins to associate points in their life where a pattern of behavior was learned in order to cope with the event that originally caused disassociation. The JAMPTM Transformational Coach will lead the client safely through this journey using verbal affirmations such as, “I am not afraid,” to disperse the fear. By the end of the session, threads are strung together to paint a picture of pain that forms an image which becomes a symbol that can be transformed into healing.
