Discovering Your Personal Myth with David Feinstein, Ph.D. & Stanley Krippner, Ph.D.

MP3 Download

We are often limited by debilitating beliefs rooted in childhood experience, according to psychologists Feinstein and Krippner, who describe personal mythology as a way to actively change these beliefs into themes that work for us instead of against us. Probing the unconscious and uncovering the source of our behavior patterns, serves as the focus for clarifying the role of myth in our personal lives as well as its extension to the culture.
