Summary

The pain of abandonment, both real and metaphorical, can cast a shadow over our entire adult experience. Warming the Stone Child investigates the abandoned child archetype in world myths and cultures to find clues about the process of healing the "unmothered" child within us all. Spiced with Dr. Estes' wonderful storytelling, Warming the Stone Child is a unique listening experience with a practical edge.

A lovely book for a woman

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.”
