My Female, My Male, My Self and God

Anneliese Widman, Ph.D.
(1921-2019)

A psychotherapist with years of private practice in New York City.  Her first career was a Broadway dancer, introduced her to the body’s subtle energies.  That led her to formal study of Bioenergetics and training with its founders, Alexander Lowen, M.D., and John Pierrakos, M.D.  Her innovative approach to therapy has since expanded to include a fusion of psychoanalysis and spirituality, which she describes in all of her books.

This book is a breathtaking journey from a psychologically abusive childhood to a series of failed affairs and marriages then ultimately to her spiritual awakening. She shares her innermost secrets, loves, fears, hopes, and joys using both prose and poetry to make the reader an intimate partner in this compelling spiritual and psychological journey.  She recounts a thrilling path of self-discovery, leading from her dance career through shattered, frustrating love affairs and finally into therapy and Bioenergetics.  She pursued her spiritual quest until she, like all other who walk the inner path, learned to look inward for answers.  In the best tradition of quest literature, Widman shares with the reader how she applies in her psychotherapy practice what she has learned from her own therapy and from Bioenergetics, and she does so in a way that will be useful to others who are seeking to heal themselves.  

 

” Anneliese Widman’s writings illuminate a journey through a deeply personal and passionate life. The path she describes has become a guide for many seeking psychological and spiritual awakening, and her words have served as a beacon for weary travelers crossing the tumultuous oceans of their lives “
