Healing

Herman, J. L. (1992). Trauma and recovery: the aftermath of violence - from domestic abuse to political terror, Basic Books.
            This is the most useful book I have ever read on trauma and abuse in all its forms and recovery. Many of our energy blocks and non-clear ways of seeing and interacting with the world begin with childhood and other trauma. This book, written from a psychiatric standpoint, is a very useful adjunct to meditation as a path to healing these trauma. Challenging, warm-hearted, practical.

Wilbur, K. (1991). Grace and grit, Shambala.
            Inspiring account of two highly intelligent, articulate and spiritual people loving each other, living and dying with cancer. Very moving, very honest, philosophically very rich.
