Best known for her book, "Addiction To Perfection", this
Jungian analyst is world renowned for her work with addiction--particularly
eating disorders (anorexia and bulimia). After years of struggling
with an eating disorder herself, she went through a severe breakdown
which forced her to change her self-destructive thinking patterns.
Her battle with cancer in recent years has led her to say that illness
has been her greatest teacher. In her early seventies, Woodman travels
extensively, giving lectures and seminars on various aspects of Jungian
psychology.
QUOTE:
"I don’t think that a person that is on an "alone"
path rules out the idea of a soulmate. I think that that’s the
ideal. If you’ve got someone who is willing to be independent
and to find his own path and has the strength to work on that independence
and to love you for who you are, not for what he wants you to be and
is willing to give you the freedom to develop your life independently,
then you’re really onto something. In other words, you are walking
parallel paths. To me that is the real soulmate." |
