Spiced with Dr. Estes' wonderful storytelling, Warming the Stone Child is a unique listening experience with a practical edge.©1990 Clarissa Pinkola Estes (P)1997 Sounds True Customs & Traditions Gender Studies Mental Health Parenting & Families Psychology Psychology & Mental Health Relationships Social Sciences Sociology Spirituality Inspiring Thought-Provoking

Mind blown!

So much psychology literature is focused on the cognitive part of therapy, when Clarissa’s books are so deeply about intuition, soul and love.

The narrator’s voice is really soothing and the fairy tales used as an archetypal guide make it fun!

The quote I took away from this “what is not felt cannot be healed.”

A lovely book for a woman
