This week I will be speaking with Dr.
Cohen, author of his new book, I
Carry Your Heart in My Heart, which recounts
his experiences working for over five years with murderers
in a US prison using the Systemic Family Constellation
method. We all carry unresolved traumas of our own past
and our family system. Antisocial behavior is a symptom
of these traumas and an attempt to manage complex feelings
and unconscious loyalties. Dan’s work demonstrates clearly
that “peace of mind, reconciliation, and forgiveness
are always within reach.” Indeed, one inmate speaks
of an inner freedom he was never able to attain while
“free” outside prison. Dan’s work has not only affected
the inmates he has worked with but also the volunteers
from outside the prison. To quote from his book, “How
unlikely is it that a highly-educated, successful professional
woman would ask a group of men convicted of murder for
help to restore her marriage or find freedom from the
bonds of depression?”
About
the Guest Speaker
Dr.
Dan Booth Cohen is an internationally known spiritual
healer who helps individuals and families resolve their
most difficult conflicts and problems. He uses an emotionally
grounded and deeply profound European method known as
a Systemic Family Constellation.
He begins each session with the question: What is your
issue? The answer can be anything that is urgent and
can be described in a few sentences. He is equally comfortable
sitting with convicted murderers in prison or children
of Nazi perpetrators and Holocaust survivors in Germany,
as he is in the privacy of multi-million dollar homes
with wealthy individuals and families. Most of his clients
are ordinary people who struggle with the ordinary problems
of our times, such as relationship conflicts, loneliness,
depression, addiction, and physical illnesses.
Dr. Cohen is the author of a new book: I
Carry Your Heart in My Heart. As the title
suggests, we all carry the memory of past traumas and
heartaches inside of us. When we really tune into these
feelings on a deep soul level, new possibilities for
positive change and growth open up. The process can
be done individually, in groups, and even by telephone.
Dan Booth Cohen has more than 30 years of experience
in the art of counseling and peacemaking. He holds an
MBA from Boston University and a Ph.D. in psychology
from Saybrook Graduate School. He trained in the Family
Constellation approach directly with Bert Hellinger
and many of the world’s foremost practitioners and teachers.
Dan, his wife KK, and their daughters, Anna and Rosalie,
live in Needham, Massachusetts.
