“In Heart Medicine, Radhule Weininger offers a path toward freedom from our trauma-based, recurring, painful patterns of reacting to problems in self-defeating ways. Forged during forty-plus years of study and practice of Buddhism and Western psychology, this pathway illuminates how obstacles triggered by trauma can become growth opportunities when held with awareness and understanding. Utilizing the twelve steps toward healing and examples of people on their personal journeys, Radhule’s book is a welcome addition to the healing trauma canon.”— Sharon Salzberg, author of Real Change

I see Radhule Weininger as a bodhisattva of heart-healing, and in this new book we get to join her on that path.”—David Richo, author of Triggers

“The wisdom and stories that Radhule Weininger has culled from her own work sit comfortably here with the deep insights that come for her own meditation practice and the practical skills that Buddhism offers to overcome our recurring painful patterns.
