“I needed the assistance of both meditation and therapy before I could acknowledge the deepest levels of fear, anger, judgement and grief I carried. The therapist was essential as a compassionate witness, another being to help me face the images and fears I carried in my body, everything that I had been unable to face alone. I saw how much the old patterns had reinforced my small sense of self.” (quote from the book)
