O'Shea Brown: Psyche's Awakening, Gebunden

Klappentext

Ancient Greek mythology meets the best of today's psychological insights for a hero's journey you won't soon forget: your own.

It's a tale as old as time: a seeker sets out on a journey against the odds to pursue enlightenment. Yet in real life, we must brave the challenges within. This emotional quest invokes an inner alchemy, transforming wounds into wisdom, shame into self-forgiveness, and pain into purpose. In Psyche's Awakening, psychotherapist Gillian O'Shea Brown turns to these epic dramas as mirrors and maps guiding you to rediscover and reclaim the powers of resilience and wisdom already within.

The Greek myths are some of the most enduring stories of all time because their archetypal energies are alive in us today. We have much to learn from Medusa on our "soul scars," Pygmalion on boundary work and emotional walls, Icarus on the dignity of risk, and the phoenix on the transformation that is possible beyond trauma.

Through vibrant mythical retellings and evidence-based, trauma-informed psychological insights, Psyche's Awakening will support your journey with:
• Somatic exercises such as breathwork, body scans, and grounding rituals
• Guided tools for charting your erotic-emotional map
• Techniques for social pruning and returning vitality to your relationships
• Compassionate shadow work and self-healing practices

As Gillian writes, "The greatest adventure you will ever embark on is the journey back to yourself." This book is your map to this sacred awakening.
