I'm not sure what primary process means either, but you might be interested in a book called The Interpersonal World of the Infant, by Daniel Stern. It deals with early experience before language enters the picture. Reading it resulted in a breakthrough in therapy for me, as it seemed to explain feelings I have that I can't capture in words. Good luck!
> does anyone know anything about primary process? i've tried to research it a bit without much success. i think it is preverbal feelings that stay with us in a way that feels uncommunicative. as you can see, i'm not clear, but in a way feel i am stuck in this mode (not comfortable communicating verbally). thanks!
