Inside Sacred Therapy |
 |
In Sacred Therapy psychotherapist and spiritual teacher Estelle Frankel travels to the heart of Jewish mysticism to reveal how people of any faith can draw upon this rich body of teachings to gain wisdom, clarity, and a deeper sense of meaning in the midst of modern life. In an engaging and accessible style, Frankel brings together tales and teachings from the Bible, Talmud, Kabbalah, and the Hasidic tradition as well as evocative case studies and stories from her own life to create an original, inspirational guide to emotional healing and spiritual growth.
Frankel illuminates the universal healing wisdom hidden in Jewish sources, and she also presents a way to incorporate these spiritual insights into the practice of psychotherapy. Skillfully weaving together personal and sacred narrative, she reveals how we can transform our vulnerabilities into strengths and restore a sense of coherence in our lives even when things seem broken or shattered. The ultimate goal of both psychotherapy and spiritual practice, she says, is to open our hearts fully to life-to the raw and painful as well as to the beautiful, joyous and sacred dimensions of existence-for wholeness is reached only when we can embrace and integrate the contradictory and often fragmented aspects of our being.
Sacred Therapy includes a wealth of practical tools and guided meditations for infusing our lives with compassion, faith, and equanimity. At a time when so many people are searching for ways to bring greater spiritual depth and meaning to their lives, Sacred Therapy offers a powerful and authentic vision of how to do just that. |
