Gifts & Pitfalls of Surviving Abuse with Janet Rudolph & Why Women Need Goddess

Today, Janet Rudolph, author, sacred traveler, and shamanic practitioner, joins me today to tackle the subject of her healing journey.  We'll discuss how abuse takes our voices away and what mythological figures factored in her healing journey.  Janet will share her pathways toward healing and how abuse harms our sense of self.  Janet recognizes the gifts she discovered in the wreckage left behind from her abuse and shares that with listeners as well as what she calls the pitfalls of finding her own quest.  Finally, we'll delve into why women leave abusive situations.  At the end of this interview Karen will discuss Carol Christ's essay, Why Women Need the Goddess.  Part 1 of 4.  Parts 2-4 will air in the next several weeks.
