A literary experiential read--a much needed departure from ordinary therapeutic writing. You'll be enveloped in the emotional resonance of Laurel's genre-breaking love story and memoir. This evocative relational therapy, combined with recent findings in interpersonal neurobiology and intersubjective therapeutic styles, will compel you to rejuvenate your practice or inspire your own therapeutic experience.

Our book was edited by Summer Graef, whose depth editing went, with warmth and heart, way beyond grammar.

The Peace of Wild Things

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

— Wendell Berry
