Holding Flames: Women Illuminating Knowledge of s/Self-Transformation

Eimear O’Neill

Chapter Chapter 11 in Learning Toward an Ecological Consciousness: Selected Transformative Practices, 2004, pp 183-199 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In January 2000, I was still struggling with a densely and painfully written dissertation in clinical psychology on what women found transformative in the psychotherapy process, when I dreamt that the exposed brick wall of my verandah-sized therapy office was hung with many tiny hearth-places. These firelit miniature openings were humming with vivid moving figures. I knew I was looking into the lives of the women I work with, the chattering “community in my head” of clients, colleagues, and women friends whose experiences shape my own awareness and, through my daily praxis, each other’s.
