For mental health professionals interested in how spirituality and creativity can be complementary to the work of psychotherapy, I’m excited to share a recent conversation we filmed with Dr. Pamela Ayo Yetunde — the author, pastoral counselor, and regular contributor to our Compassion in Therapy trainings.

In this free 50-minute session, Dr. Yetunde shares wisdom from her recently completed book project, Songbird Birdsong: The Story, including discussion of the healing power of the creative process, the relationship between spirituality and psychotherapy, and guidance on how to support a client who feels unlovable. Plus, she leads a guided practice on connecting with loving kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity. 

Songbird Birdsong: The Story is Now Available in E-Book Format!

Dr. Pamela Ayo Yetunde’s new book, Songbird Birdsong: The Story, is a modern adaptation of a traditional Buddhist parable that incorporates practical spiritual care and psychotherapeutic advice, and offers tools that readers can easily use for their own reflection while being entertained through fiction.
