Dusk falls, the world shrinks little by little into a smaller and
smaller circle as the light continues to diminish. The centre of
this world is illuminated by a small, crackling sun; the flames
dance, and the rough faces of the people gathered there are lit by
the fire of their expectations. The old man will begin to speak, he
will explain to them how the world is, how it was, how it was
created. He will help them understand how things have a sense, an
order, a way that they need to be. He will clarify the sources of
un-wellness and unhappiness, what is sickness, where it comes from,
how to notice it and... how to heal it. To heal the sick, he will
call forth the forces of the invisible realms, maybe he will sing,
certainly he will talk, and talk, and talk. Since the beginning of
time we have gathered round those who can bring us the answers to
our questions and the means to alleviate our sufferings. This
practice has not fundamentally changed since the earliest times; in
every era, continent and culture we have found and continue to find
these experiences. Gary Edward Gedall is a state-registered
psychologist and psychotherapist, trained in Ericksonian hypnosis.
However, his first love is, and always has been story telling. In
this, amongst the oldest of the healing traditions, he has
succeeded to meld modern therapy theories and techniques with
stories and poems of the highest quality. With much humanity,
clinical vignettes, common sense and lots of humour, the reader is
gently carried from situation to situation. Whether the problems
described concern you directly, indirectly or not at all, you will
surely find interest and benefits from the wealth of insights and
advice contained within and conscious or unconscious positive
changes through reading the stories and poems.
