The Nest in the Stream
Lessons from Nature on Being with Pain
Summary
In this episode, cross posted from the podcast Psychologists Off the Clock, Dr. Diana Hill interviews Dr. Michael Kearney, a palliative care physician who takes an interpersonal, integrative approach to healing. Dr. Kearney shares with us how he has had to learn to "breathe underwater" and allow pain to move through him and he discusses his new book: The Nest in the Stream: Lessons from Nature on Being with Pain (Parallax Press, 2018).
Michael Kearney trained at St Christopher’s Hospice in London with Dame Cicely Saunders, pioneer of the modern hospice movement. He later returned to his Ireland as medical director at Our Lady’s Hospice in Dublin. In the early 2000’s he moved to North America, and now lives and works in Santa Barbara, California. Throughout his career, Michael has been interested in whole person care and approaches that combine medical treatment with the innate healing potential of body, soul, and spirit. He draws on depth psychology, mythology, Buddhist philosophy, indigenous wisdom and Earth-based spirituality.
Diana Hill, Ph.D. is a licensed psychologist practicing in Santa Barbara, California, and a co-host of the podcast Psychologists Off The Clock.
