Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Dr. Estes is a an "American poet, psychoanalyst and post-trauma specialist".  She is the author of several books, including Women Who Run with the Wolves and The Faithful Gardener.  She has also produced multiple audio recordings, including Warming the Stone Child; Myths and Stories about Abandonment and the Unmothered Child and The Red Shoes; On Torment and the Recovery of the Soul.    Dr. Estes is trained in story telling and she's very good at it. Her writing/story telling touches on issues that are very difficult to reach with regular words.  Warming the Stone Child particularly has had a profound impact on my life.  If you have abandonment issues (are there people who don't?) that are really bothering you, I'd highly recommend checking out all of her work.  Really, if you're interested in our deep inner-workings, you should know about Dr. Estes.  Thanks Dr. Estes!
