not trying to get into it with this person (the username is problematic enough) but this just isn’t true. people say this s**t all the time and it’s harmful.
while it’s true that most if not all of us came to healing by way of some significant pain, which unlocked gifts/skills/abilities etc, that still doesn’t mean one has ANY idea of what they are doing when working with others in a professional capacity. winging it doesn’t work.
trauma informed skills, protocol, and safety practices MUST be learned. then there’s the time honored and NECESSARY tradition of apprenticeship.
it says a lot about a person who is willing to put aside ego and take a course. to learn, to put in the time to cultivate one’s craft, to gain practical and professional experience. this is work that CANNOT be bypassed, no matter how psychic or connected one is.
when someone puts their trust in you to help them through some of the most difficult pain of their life, it is a sacred and deep responsibility as well as honor.
