This is a masterwork in Creative Arts Therapies by a seasoned artist/therapist. As a Jungian-oriented drama therapist, who has spent many years working with myth and fairy tale, myself, I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It inspires, guides and educates. What a gift for the next generation!

<i>The Story Within</i> is a passport to the deep places in us. Yehudit Silverman speaks equally to seekers, therapists, and artists of all mediums. Yehudit's own story, La Loba, is a generous through line, teaching us how story move us and moves in us, weaving the golden threads of the archetypal realm into our contemporary lives to find meaning, resolve conflict and heal trauma.

This book invites us on a journey through the landscapes of the deeply personal and the profoundly collective. Our guide is patient, steadfast and wise in her offering of transformation through creative arts. Personally, my experience with the Story Within has had an enormous impact on my education, my clinical trajectory and more recently my work as a trauma therapist - this is a valuable resource for anyone dedicated to the transformation and alleviation of human suffering.
