Dr. Al Riediger: My Witness

“The capacity to give one's attention to a sufferer is a very rare and difficult thing; it is almost a miracle; it is a miracle.” ~ Simone Weil

This is my post honoring Dr. Al Riediger’s life, his tireless witnessing, and our profoundly impactful, healing relationship—a testament to his integrity, commitment, generosity, wisdom, and respect that created, protected, and nurtured the sacred arena where my healing could unfold. I am one of the deeply wounded individuals Al helped to heal from severe trauma. We worked together from Dec. 6th, 2004, to Feb 15, 2024.

In further posts, I will share pearls of wisdom, of liberation that came through him, or through our work, that became pillars for the rebuilding of a shattered life.
