Intuitive Transformations

Aired Wednesday, 2 May 2018, 2:00 PM ESTHeal A Wounded Heart with Pilar JenningsEarly on in her clinical practice, psychoanalyst Pilar Jennings was presented with a particularly difficult case: a six-year-old girl who, traumatized by loss, had stopped speaking. Feeling challenged by the limitations of her training to respond effectively to the isolating effect of this young girl’s childhood trauma, Pilar decided to take an unconventional treatment approach. She invited her friend Lama Pema, a kind Tibetan Buddhist monk, who had also experienced his own life-shaping trauma at a very young age into their sessions. The result is a fascinating case study that illustrates how Western psychology and Buddhist teachings can intersect to provide a unique therapeutic approach in healing childhood wounds.Join Sylvia and her guest Pilar Jennings, author of To Heal A Wounded Heart: The Transformative Power of Buddhism and Psychotherapy in Action, as they discuss the importance of healing our wounded inner child.About the
