A couple of resources that come to mind that I found very useful:
Ajahn Sumedho essay on the Four Noble Truths of Buddhism - a couple of passages of note if you don't fancy reading the whole thing are on page 41 under the sub-heading 'Allowing Things To Arise', and on page 60 under the sub-heading 'Aspects of Meditation'.
RE podcasts, I love the podcasts of Jon Bernie, which are concerned with the spiritual awakening and healing journey and deal with the various challenges that arise during the course of that process, they start with a talk and finish with a Q&A with some of his students - there's an archive of his podcasts
here.
All the best with it, sounds like it could be a very fruitful endeavour.
