MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable A number of people requested my notes from Kalsched's lecture on Trauma = and the Soul - especially on The Girl Without Hands. If you write, I = will send them just to the interested parties. I have been thinking a lot about how this pertains to personal = narrative. Kalsched says that to create personal narrative is to call = your soul back and reunite mind, body and spirit. =20 Davis uses the metaphor of giving birth to our stories. He says, "Every = child is beautiful when it is first born. It just needs to be cleaned = up and fed." Kalsched says that the spirit world protects the personal = spirit who has found no place in "this world." It cannot be born into a = trauma-ridden world except as a "monster." If the "broken and struggling = ego" can hold it with loving compassion it can incarnate. When we first begiin trying to tell personal stories the ones that get = snagged are often the monsters.
