"If you live in the liminal, meander the mysteries, are at home in the dark of the moon and in the wilds of your dreams, if you hear the Spirit of the Depths howling for lack of the Wisdom Traditions, you may be a medial. Your entrée to the uncanny, your sixth sense, are sorely needed in our fraught, transitional times. Yet sadly, medial women are often feared in our culture, scapegoated, ridiculed.

If this is your story, Stepping Out of the Shadows will be a gift to your soul and your spirit, an illumination of your sense of self, and a blessing on your life path. Roberta Corson has made a major contribution to Jungian psychology. Those of us who have lived in the shadows of mediality are grateful."

"Roberta Corson has given us an offering of love. Honoring her teacher and mentor, Toni Wolf, she invites us on a journey to meet the medial woman; welcome her into our classrooms and therapy sessions; discover her in those we love; and even in our own selves. In this playful yet serious work, she tells stories, her own and those of others, that touch the untapped knowing that many women sense but have no language to express. She elegantly weaves theory, interviews, insights, and wisdom in a multilayered tapestry. This is groundbreaking work, offering a much-needed perspective for a world hungry for meaning and hope."

"Stepping Out of the Shadows is an inspiring journey into the realm of the medial woman. Roberta Corson shares her own story with honesty and vulnerability, allowing readers to connect to their own vulnerable truths. As I read it, I felt a new way of knowing open before me with a sense of richness, acceptance, and renewal. Dr. Corson brings forth the strength of the female medial experience from the shadows of judgment, ignorance, and misunderstanding. I can’t wait to share this book with my medial clients and friends."

"Roberta Corson’s book feels like water in the desert for any medial soul who’s lived a lonely life explaining and hiding their gifts away, rather than nourishing these gifts with the knowledge that they serve and support the world. It’s a delight to read and re-read this book—the images, stories, and connections sparked recognition and resonance within my own mediality. Even before publication, I find myself adding names to a growing list of friends, colleagues, and clients who will receive this book as an invitation to explore an unnamed and perhaps unknown aspect of their selves."
