I am delighted to have completed the work of filming the course that I teach on the Odyssey as the story of the returning veteran. From a Depth Psychological perspective there is a great deal of wisdom to be found here as to how one can return home from a trauma such as the Trojan War. Returning home is a theme that our common human ancestors have explored in story for thousands of years. Please enjoy this first section and share widely!

Carol L Rizzolo, PhD
Cultural Mythologist
Personal Coaching through life transitions
Independent Scholar
My personal and professional path has long been defined by membership in the family of helping professions. I followed a brief career in Clinical Genetics by a 20+ year career as a Physician Assistant providing health care services and counseling to young people and their families. I have extensive training in both pediatrics and end-of-life care. As I approached 50 years old, I chose to change professional direction. I returned to school and earned a doctorate in Mythology and Psychology and became certified as Personal and Executive Coach. The Connectedness of our human stories through the millennia has been the focus of my research and writing. Learning to live gracefully through the many twists and turns that life offers has been the focus of my own life for over 40 years.
