The journey is one of death and rebirth, where the old order and the dispiriting grip of trauma can be lessened and something new and more mature be spiritually born in its place. The universal myth of the night sea journey and parts of St. Mark's Gospel provide a framework for reflecting on the mind, body, and spirit journey needed to overcome and get freer from past pain. Insights from trauma-informed theology, analytical psychology, psychoanalysis, and yoga teaching are illustrated by drawing on the experiences of (among others) Thomas Merton, James Finley, and Carl Jung. Alongside this the reader follows in each chapter the compelling stories of two people in spiritual direction, who through different and sometimes very unexpected ways have confronted their inner anguish and found soul recovery, spiritual renewal, and psychic integration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFiona Gardner is a spiritual director and writer living in the UK.
