About this listen

 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 Customs & Traditions Gender Studies Mental Health Parenting & Families Psychology Psychology & Mental Health Relationships Social Sciences Sociology Spirituality Heartfelt Inspiring 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."

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.
