About this listen

Healing for the “Unmothered Child”

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. Along the way, this gifted storyteller and Jungian psychoanalyst instructs us about the psychology of abandonment in childhood, how it affects us in later life, and its curiously special gifts and powers. Join her as she illuminates:

The Inuit fable of the Stone Child
• Symptoms of the adult “abandoned child”
• The story of the Little Red Cap
• The English tale of the Stolen Woman Moon
• The four types of abandonment
• Re-creating the inner mother, and much more.
Drawing from many world cultures, Dr. Estés has gathered a collection of deep myths, fables, and fairy tales with the adult listener in mind. Her storytelling creates a compelling picture of the orphan figure through the ages, while helping us understand the meaning of preadolescent abandonment in our own lives. Spiced with wonderful storytelling, Warming The Stone Child is a unique listening experience with a practical edge.

I was very pleased with the content of this book. The stories and advice were very helpful. I personally was able to relate to a lot of it. My only criticism is that the book ended too soon for me. Hopefully Dr Estes will publish a follow up with practical advice. Other than that it was an excellent read and I would highly recommend it.

Left wanting more!
