Flying Horse: Stories of Healing the Soul Wound

By Donna Schindler

Book Overview

A white psychiatrist shares the truths she has learned about historical trauma in this book which has been called 'prophetic' by Reverend Mathew Fox. Starting with her childhood in South Texas and Bermuda, she takes us on a journey during which she had to confront her own racial biases and denial of the truth in order to work as a cross-cultural psychiatrist with a Maori mental health team in New Zealand, the Navajo Nation and California Native Americans. Painful stories intermingled with otherworldly encounters and her own dreams inform her work in trying to help heal what has been called by some Native elders, 'the sound wound.' After three decades of work with indigenous peoples, the author knows the power of sharing stories.
