To sit in the therapist's chair with a heart that has known shattering is to possess a gift and a profound responsibility.
The true Healer knows the danger: to confuse another's healing with their own, to project pain, or to let their unmet needs drain the well meant for their client. To heal from a place of active brokenness is not empathy; it is chaos in wait.
But the Master Healer moves differently. See things differently. Do things differently. They know that the wound is not the tool; the scars are. Their ache is not ignored but is consciously tended through fierce self-care, vigilant boundaries, and the humility of seeking their own continuous healing. Sometimes on their own, sometimes with the help of those who can provide the space for them to be at peace.
Their old sorrow becomes a lens, not a mirror. It is what grants them profound insight, the gentleness to hold despair, and the wisdom to walk alongside, without leading or leaning.
The Healer is not whole because they heal others; they are effective because they commit to healing themselves first.
In this ethical practice, the personal journey deepens the professional grace, allowing the light that streams through their mended cracks to truly guide the way for others.
