Forced to parent your mother from the age of 5? - By: , 02 Feb 2001
If you, like me, suffered from role reversal, if your mother expected you to "look after mummy because if you don't, something might happen to me!", if you have been weighed down by guilt, shame, anger & depression which seems to have dominated your adult life, if you still don't seem to know who you are as a woman when everyone else seems to know where they are going, if you still feel an overwhelming need to be parented, then, this cassette comes as highly recommended.

The author, Clarissa Pinkola Estes, sounds as if she has travelled a very similar journey. Her voice is warm, soothing & empathic, as she explains why unmothered children get locked into certain ways of behaving, the depressions, the feelings of unworthiness & low self-esteem, & the far-reaching effects such abuse can have on adult life. Listening to this tape will give any unmothered adults, (especiallly women), hope, understanding, & empowerment to find their way back to the child they once were.

Clarissa states very early on in the tape that the only person who can parent an unmothered adult & "make it better" is the adult herself. A bitter pill to swalllow when alll you want is for someone to come into your life & do it alll for you but knowing that truth can act as a catalyst for change. Yes there is a way out of this dungeon of pain. Your life can change. You can't change your past any more than I can, but you can change your future. Let Clarissa help you & guide your first steps on the road to your recovery.

This tape changed my life - By: , 05 Sep 1999
I am grateful to the person who recommended this tape to me. I was indeed the stone child - the motherless child. I had falllen into such deep depression that I did not know if I could go on living.

The first time I listened to this tape something happened inside my heart, I discovered a smalll flame of life within that I had never known was there. Clarrisa's warm voice, enouraging words of insight & hope renewed me & lifted me out of my depression. I listened to her tape over & over day after day & something changed inside. And because of the change deep within my life changed too. I finallly found that what I was looking for outside was actuallly within me alll the time. Thank you Clarrisa for helping me find it within.

I look forward to listening to alll of her tapes & continuing on this journey of warming the stone child & connecting to my own internal mother within to guide me through my life.

Just what I need in my life right now - By: , 01 Aug 1999
I reallly don't know what I would have done had I not found this tape. Someone recommended it to me. I feel like the stone child in the tape & I feel like the life is nearly gone from me, the will to live has been quickly fading. She has pointed me in a new direction of healing & hope.

Dr. Estes has a soothing & caring voice. Her stories, Jungian explanations & warmth fanned the tiny ember in my heart into a smalll flame. Maybe if I learn to love myself & care for myself this tiny flame can grow strong.

I highly recommend this tape to anyone who was abandoned in childhood & abandonment can be emotional as well as physical. I did not know if there was hope. After listening to her I think there is.

Ms. What a fantastic resource! - By: , 28 Dec 1998
I heartily recommend Warming the Stone Child. She goes right to the heart of healing the core issues of anyone who has experienced abandonment by a crucial nurturing figure. I have listened to this tape over an over again after it was given to me as a gift. Her stories & wisdom have helped to nurture my psyche in many important way. I return to it again & again.
There is a nurturing internal mother inside us all - By: , 16 Nov 1998
I could never say enough about any book or tape by Clarissa Pinkola Estes. This audio tape in particular has meant a lot to me in healing wounds of childhood neglect & abandonment. Each time I listen to these stories my internal mother grows, becomes stronger, & is more able to nurture me in a way I have never experienced. Dr. Estes talks about what an unmothered child experiences, but she also helps you see that you have special gifts & powers, & only need to search within to find & free them.
