The Emotional Truth of Dreams
by Willow Pearson Trimbach and Eva Tuschman Leonard
“This is an intimate book—intuitive, illuminating, and inspiring. Willow Pearson Trimbach and Eva Tuschman Leonard’s engaged, relational exploration of waking dreams and nighttime dreams in psyche time opens the reader to multiple dimensions of what Bion called emotional truth. Through their dream dialogues, touching longings, realizations, losses, and creative expressions, dreams are held as guides from the mystery of the soul. The offering of these dream dialogues invites you to partner your own dreamlife, as a lifelong path of contact with the depths. Listening for grace is an expressed method of their dream practice, helping the reader to gain psychotherapeutic and spiritual access that honors and opens resonant sources yet unknown. This is a wonderful further exploration into our human experience as feeling and dreaming beings.”

Eva Tuschman Leonard’s book
Bodywork
“Leonard tells us body work is actually “soul work,” the process by which she wrestles with the loneliness of embodying “a body hijacked by illness.” “Embodiment/a blessing and a burden” is in the text as well as on the back cover. The book’s dedication is to her parents, whom she says taught her “from her very beginnings how to engage life through creative process. “Because of you I can transform every experience into art.” Bodywork is the history of such a transformation. The book, published by Bored Wolves Press and Firehouse Press, is an exquisite object of art in and of itself. Clearly the process of writing Bodywork and the connectivity it engendered enabled her to choose to close with this: “Despite everything/I still believe in the holiness of the body.” A hard-earned ending, even more eloquent paired with a spectacular drawing of a body upright, engulfed in either flames or an ethereal cosmos shower, head and arms reaching up until outside the confines of the page.”

Willow Pearson and Helen Marlo’s book
The Spiritual Psyche: Mysticism, Intersubjectivity and Psychoanalysis
“The editors provide a clear map of the ineffable in a feat few could have undertaken. With flawless precision, Pearson and Marlo take on the dismantling and integration of these notions [spirituality, mysticism, religious experience, the transcendent, and the source of being] that act in orchestrated relationship. Noting the limitation of conveying the being and experiencing of mystical experiences that go beyond what could be offered in any text, the editors bravely offer a conversation in the language of spiritual traditions and psychoanalysis relevant in clinical practice.”
“In The Spiritual Psyche in Psychotherapy: Mysticism, Intersubjectivity, and Psychoanalysis Willow Pearson and Helen Marlo provide an unqualified discussion of the world of spirit for beginners or advanced seekers and practitioners. Although this eclectic read is ostensibly about the life and work of the spiritual psyche in psychotherapy, it provides a diversified discussion of the most current thinking about the numinous, both on the couch and in daily life.”
