In this episode, we discuss chapter 5 “Hunting: When the heart is a lonely hunter”.Podcast Episode Summary:This chapter is about understanding committed love, not as something where only pleasure is allowed, only good times, only increase, but where the Life-Death-Life cycle is honored. It is about understanding there are times of closeness, connection, and plenty and also times where you feel farther apart or where aspects of your relationship need to be released so something new can come into being.In this reading Dr. Estes offers the story of "Skeleton Woman", and she analyzes how this story represents the phases of love in long term relationships.
