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.©1990 Clarissa Pinkola Estes (P)1997 Sounds True Gender Studies Goddesses Mental Health Parenting & Families Psychology Psychology & Mental Health Relationships Social Sciences Sociology Spirituality Inspiring Tradition Thought-Provoking

Critic reviews

"Dr. Estes’s palpable emotional engagement (and obvious desire to speak to those in pain) can be heard in the flowing, calming sound she creates with each interlocking syllable, reflective pause, and change in vocal intensity. The arresting beauty in both her writing and narrative performance will make listeners believe that they can internalize the mother’s ability to soothe themselves and find emotional balance, whether or not they ever received such mothering."

She tells her story like no other. CPE writes powerful stories about healing, anxiety, addiction. These stories can be read or listened to many times. This one and mother moon and Red Shoes are a few of my favs along with her amazing book Women Who Run with wolves is fantastic!

Clarissa’s story-telling and her lens of interpretation are medicine for my tender heart. Especially resonant for an adult child of a dysfunctional family.
