Publisher's summary

Buried within all of us is what Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes refers to as the "one who knows" - our instinctive, intuitive nature. This, she teaches, is the source of creativity and undersatnding that lies out of sight in darkeness, often called the unconscious.

In Seeing in the Dark, listeners join the esteemed Jungian psychoanalyist and best-selling author to learn how to perceive "through the eyes of soul as well as through the eyes of the ego." This dual way of seeing, being, and acting, Dr. Estes explains, is the most direct way to reclaim the gifts and the "healing apothecary" set into each soul at birth.

I wish this woman was my grandmother.

I love her books and audio books. There are many lovely stories and "ah ha!" moments within.

Inspirational~Food for the Soul

Highest rating. No one has ever been my 'in spiritus ' like Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés! Listen with your 'inner senses' and be prepared to be blessed. Thank you, Dr. Estés . Your work, your heart, has saved my metaphorical, and at times, literal life!! Bless you!

I love her beautiful voice

I feel so nurtured by her soothing story telling, her creativity, and her ability to see us all. When I am in a place of forgetting and fear, she makes me feel ok again. Wonderful.

Authors Great Insights

If you seek a better understanding of the Psyche, Clairissa is a great teller, of stories, weaving in the backdrop of our deeper complexes.

Light in Darkness

Dr. Estes' stories always uncover treasures found in overlooked, ugly, or dark spaces we thought we knew about, but only assumed based on what others may have warned us about. She inspires me and urges me past my inner critic.

Extraordinary!

My only complaint is it was too short. This aligns and resonates with so much of the research have done and the life that I’ve lived. It’s such a tribute to the goddess within all of us. This woman is a blessing with the courage to use her voice. I absolutely loved it!
