About this listen

What does healing mean to you? For many of us, to ‘heal’ is to solve a problem – to remove an illness, put a trauma behind us, or get rid of something we don’t like in our life. Yet does that idea of healing serve us … or does it cut us off from life’s gifts? With A Healing Space, Dr. Matt Licata extends an invitation to explore the endless richness of your life – without minimising or turning away from hardship, nor by seeking the shelter of comfort or certainty. ‘I do not have any answers for you,’ he writes. ‘Rather, I see my role as helping to illuminate the immensity and even magic of the questions themselves.’ Here is an audiobook you will return to time and again – whenever your soul calls you to examine, transform and renew yourself.

Brilliant but…

Why oh why didn’t Matt Licata narrate this himself? It’s very hard to focus on what’s being said because of the narrator’s tone. It sounds like she’s putting on a relaxing ‘new age’ whisper-voice that somehow hypnotizes me. And so I’m having to keep rewinding because I completely miss large sections of the audiobook. Maybe I’ll get the hard copy…

Excellent advice on helping you improve your wellbeing

This book is amazing, I love the concept of letting your bad feelings/thoughts exist in your healing space along with the good ones. People are multi faceted, and his practice helps bring in all of your parts. Very well organized and easy to get around so you can revisit sections as needed. Great book!

Deeply insightful; writing is a piece of art

The author's clarity and expertise gives confidence that we are on the the right road with the right guide. His skilful and kind approach is invitational and confident. He encourages us and models how we invite the lost and neglected parts of ourself back into our life in a safe and effective way. As we befriend these inner orphans, we reclaim our wholeness and life begins again in a new way that holds more joy, options, and connection.
Matt Licata's writing is like poetry, deeply human poetry that gives voice to our triumphs and traumas (both Traumas and everyday traumas). He paints both a realistic and hopeful portrait of the depth and heart of our humanity.
He is both aerates and scientist as he brings in the latest research on neuroscience to bear on our understanding of our response to life. Somehow the way he brings together the information makes sense, is clear, and understandable.
I experienced a tremendous comfort and an actual release of the pain, sadness, and shame that I did not know that I was carrying but that affected my daily living.
This book has had such a profound affect on me and the others who I passed it along to that I am either at a loss for words or have too much to say.
I will end with this: This book is transformational. It is not from a ten step approach or other formula. The transformation comes from standing in the face of truth, recognising it, and experiencing the soft edges of that reality as a safe passage however turbulent the waters my become. There is a confidence, a respect, an urgency when Truth comes to visit, especially with a hand held out to you telling you that you are not alone and you are not to be forgotten.
I have enormous gratitude for this author who has obviously taken the time become a formidable expert in this area through his study, his work with clients, and his first-hand experiences of stumbling in the dark like we have done and following the glimmer of light. His book brings us this light, and more, it creates a healing space within us.

Okay

It was difficult to listen to the narration. The prose merged into something not always making sense almost sounding like new age babble. The book didn’t live up to its title though there were some gems that I’ve heard before like what is painful needs to be held not healed.
