Inspiring Stories of Healing, 8 Feb 2000
By Katherine C. Cates - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Healing Journeys: The Power of Rubenfeld Synergy (Paperback)
I really enjoyed reading this fascinating book! The forty-plus short stories all deal with healing from physical or psychological wounds through a therapy that combines bodywork with talk therapy. Each author writes in a different style and voice. I especially liked "Dancing the Two-Step," which is a series of letters written by a couple coping with marital problems, and "Remembering Eddie" by a woman with liver disease who links her pain to the memory of events surrounding her brother's death after a car accident.I appreciated not having to read anything technical or theoretical; I enjoyed getting to understand Rubenfeld Synergy by reading many people's personal experiences. And what a variety of experiences! Childhood traumas, performance anxiety, devastating injuries, sexual problems, the suicide of a child, depression, and Alzheimer's are only some of the troubles the protagonists were facing when they first tried Rubenfeld Synergy.
Instead of viewing themselves as victims, the people in these stories learn to take responsibility for healing themselves. "Healing Journeys" reminded me a lot of Naomi Rachel Remen's "Kitchen Table Wisdom," in that people find the source of healing within themselves.
I could personally relate to these stories. I came away feeling that "Healing Journeys" includes stories for everyone, not just for people already interested in the body-mind connection. Now I have a good idea of how I might benefit from trying Rubenfeld Synergy or other body-mind approaches to healing.

Teaching and Healing Stories, 16 Jun 2002
By Jeanne T. Reock - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Healing Journeys: The Power of Rubenfeld Synergy (Paperback)
Reading actual stories of people's experiences with Rubenfeld Synergy® is a powerful way to understand how this hands-on, body-centered psychotherapy can help people heal. So often we read accounts of healing methods that are all theory, and interesting as such, but leave us wondering how the work is done and how it really impacts people. These stories show in some detail just how a Rubenfeld Synergist helps clients become aware of how their present feelings, beliefs, and behavoir is shaped by earlier experiences that have lodged in their unconscious. As Ms. Mechner points out, awareness makes choice and change possible. My own experiences with Rubenfeld Synergy have shown me how transformative this work can be. The process involves gentle touch,imagery and movement as well as intense listening on the part of the Synergist with no judgment, just acceptance. What a gift!
"Healing Journeys" presents a wide variety of issues and kinds of clients. There is something here for everyone to identify with and learn from. With 40 different authors, the writing is uneven, but, for the most part, highly readable.
