Abstract	This study examines how the implicit memory of attachment to caregivers in early stage of life forms a self representation and target representation of the relationship and how subject relationship is affected, through autobiographical memory. It was confirmed that the process of recalling memories in a safe relationship can integrate the memories that have been fragmented in the process of understanding and reproducing the events in the context, rather than contents of memory themselves. The research was conducted through interviews with co-researchers over 8 months, using the method of collaborative deficit culture and technology, and data were analyzed, using interview transcript, recall data, reflection data, diary, SNS and text records. As a result, the researcher discovered my hidden desire for a warm relationship, the representation of mother and myself, the recognition of the cause for the sense of distance in the relationship I experienced, and the transformation process through re-experiencing the memory in a safe relationship with the collaborator. This study is meaningful as an integrated study of neurobiology and psychotherapy process with examination of the formation and transformation process of memory with relational representation from the viewpoint of brain science in connection with psychotherapy process.
