Client Kim of Sun Prairie, WisconsinOften due to shame and fear, tragic family breakups, caused by pseudo memories, go unreported. Pseudo memories are false memories often called "repressed memories" by the uninformed. This "Prayer Ministry" explicitly relies on what psychologists, counseling professionals and experts in brainwashing now know CREATE false memories using a variety of methods associated with "Recovered Memory Therapy" (abbreviated RMT).
Report of a client concerning TPM:
Kim Clough, of Sun Prairie, WI is a client of a TPM counselor. Central Kentucky News-Journal records Cough's description of "Theophostic sessions as private meetings where the facilitator prays and asks Jesus to take the person back to 'another memory when you feel the same feeling,' that is considered part of the current distress." Kim Clough said: "You talk about it, get stirred up and go back to three or four memories. The facilitator helps you discover the lie. When Jesus brings the truth, the pain is gone. It's like a miracle. It's usually pretty intense. There's horrible pain in these memories. Some of the memories are some things I remember, some are things I haven't remembered before." Before a session, she says that sometimes I feel like I'm walking to the guillotine. Then I walk out really a different person." Referring to a male relative that she believes abused her as a child, she said: "Forgiving him is kind of a process. It's hard to forgive something you don't know about."

NOTE:
The above account in the words of the client show the confusion of someone who has (and is) generating "repressed memories". The reason the memories have not been "remembered before" is because they never actually happened. An imagined event, based on suggestion and some unknown source (horror movie, news cast, fictional book...) can often provide the fodder for pseudo memories. A Theophostic Prayer Minister, who may never even intend to create fraudulent memories, does so because the ministry seeks the "earliest memory" that held the "lie". In this case client recognizes that the memories do not seem real, but with time and effort that client could end up convinced that it is a historically accurate memory. The use of "repressed memories" is fraudulent even if the program holds that "repressed memories" are a "fact". The fact is that "repressed memory" is a myth.
