Becoming Fire: A Freudian Psychoanalyst's Spiritual Journey shows
us how to synthesize spiritual beliefs and science, our inner lives
and our work in the world. We share the journey of an ordinary
person who discovers the extraordinary-faith in God-amidst the
atheism of the Freudian path. We share the triumph of grace as we
follow Dr. Severino through personal tragedy and loss to joy. We
find inspiration for healing our mind and nurturing the soul, hope
for inner peace despite our turbulent times, encouragement to move
from fear to love of all, and pleasure in reading a story well
told. "In Becoming Fire: A Freudian Psychoanalyst's Spiritual
Journey, Sally Severino, M.D. lays bare her life-professional and
private, her psyche, and her soul. She embodies the merger of Freud
and God, strange bedfellows by traditional standards, but strangely
compatible in Dr. Severino's experience. In reading this book, you
will have a greater understanding of Freudian psychology and a
greater understanding of God. More importantly, you will have a
greater understanding of yourself." -Susan Carrell, author of
Escaping Toxic Guilt: Five Proven Steps to Free Yourself from Guilt
for Good! "Becoming Fire takes the reader on a spiritual odyssey
free of self-righteousness, lectures or posturing. Author Sally
Severino shares her journey to God with the skill of a seasoned
storyteller. A Freudiantrained psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, Dr.
Severino credits Freud with sparking the quest of self-discovery
that led her to God and to her own personal happiness. Her memoir
offers hopeful reassurance and inspiration for anyone who feels
that life is too hard, Christianity too complex, and God too
abstract and far away to be of relevance to our human existence."
