Counselor Sheryl Paul Reads Walt Whitman


Listen Later

In this episode, Sheryl Paul reads from “Song of Myself” by Walt Whitman. Paul is a counselor working in the tradition of Jungian depth psychology. She runs the popular blog and website, Conscious Transitions, and is the author, most recently, of The Wisdom of Anxiety: How Worry & Intrusive Thoughts Are Gifts to Help You Heal. Paul writes of anxiety not as a disorder to be eradicated, but as a wise messenger from the unconscious and an invitation to self-trust.

A key companion on Paul’s own journey to self-trust has been the legendary American poet Walt Whitman. His 52-part epic, “Song of Myself”, first published in the 1855 edition of Leaves of Grass, is among the most beloved and influential poems in the American tradition.
