I have never heard the term a wounded healer and now recognize that I have been one my entire adult life. Such an apt phrase I get to understand myself with now. Thanks! My early years as a healer were centered on concealing my wounds by projecting confidence, not unlike the rest of western medicine. To expose a wound, that is to be vulnerable, seems to be the only way to let in what one cannot heal in isolation. I think...I am now learning that the creation of novel patterns seems to be the only way to synthesize a wound with our surroundings.
