• Sitting with the Shattered Soul by Kathy Steele ‘So how do you sit with a shattered soul? Gently, with gracious and deep respect. Patiently, for time sits still for the shattered and the momentum of healing will be slow at first. With tender strength that comes from openness to your own deepest wounding, and to your own deepest healing. Firmly, never wavering in the utmost conviction that evil is powerful; but there is good that is more powerful still. Stay connected to that Goodness with all your being; however, it manifests itself to you’ http://www.copingwithdissociation.com/shattered_soul_1989.pdf
