Wounded Healer or Warrior Healer?
Recently, I had a past client/student of mine describe me as a "wounded healer" and then proclaim that she had surpassed me in her spiritual growth. I have a few thoughts on this concept that I would like to put out into the virtual universe. I AM A WOUNDED HEALER. I AM ALSO A POWERFUL WARRIOR HEALER- who faces her wounds head on and dives in DEEP to restore myself and integrate all the beautiful lessons that life throws my way. I am deeply a-ok with this fact. I don't try to portray myself as "above" anyone else- this concept makes my stomach curl. I truly believe I am no more valuable than the homeless man begging in the Wal-mart parking lot- we are both precious in the heart and eye of God. Do I have pain? Yep. Do I have challenging relationships with some of the people I love most in the world? Yep. But do these make me not equipped to help others on their journey. Not one fucking bit. IF, I ignored those issues and denied their existence,
