The Psychology of The Wounded Healer

The wounded healer refers to the capacity to be at home in the darkness of suffering and there to find germs of light and recovery. It is the archetype at the bottom of all genuine healing procedures. As long as we feel victimised, bitter and resentful towards our wound, and seek to escape from suffering it, we remain inescapably bound to it. This is neurotic suffering, as opposed to the authentic suffering of the wounded healer which is purified. The wound can destroy you, or it can wake you up. As Carl Jung wrote, "The doctor is effective only when he himself is affected. Only the wounded physician heals."

You haven't quite got the understanding correct. The wounded healer fits in with the Hero's Journey too. What you've missed is the healer returns from spiritual transcendent experience, shown with Christ, prior to crucifixion, he had already died to the seperate self, the story of Jesus is of an ancient desert priest, proven with the 40 nights in the desert alone, severe fasting and meditating. It's why Himalayan Monks suffer so much to Realise all alone in the mountains, fasting and meditating for years Extreme suffering leads to surrender, surrender leads to self-transcendent mystical union at-one-ment in Heaven and in that liberating rapture is realised the absolute cure, 'elixir' for humanities dis-ease, the dis-ease causing suffering, is yes self-conscious fearful awareness and is overcome in transcendence to realise being purely lovingly unself-centred again, released from the mind-body complex association, liberated from the associated psycho-soma, to know the absolute ecstatic joy of the eternal present moment again, again because it's 'like a child perceives' but the difference in pure awareness returned is the conscious understanding of it and so an eternity of unconditionally loving understanding with it 🌞💖👼👁️

Learning about this is one thing, doing it is another. It can be painful, but in tending those old wounds I have found my power. I used to be called too soft, too effeminate. I have the body of a warrior, and the mind of a scholar, but the heart of a gardener. I am loathe to see the ugliness and suffering in the world, but that is where I must go, for that is where gardens are most needed. God bless all who are in the process of finding themselves.

[@MrSheepwoman]

I love what you say about going to the dark and suffering places because that is where gardens are most needed. If I dare say so I am on a similar journey. I fell from what seemed like grace from an apparently perfect spiritual community and ended up locked up in a nasty place for two years. Having gone through it I am now starting to garden in a deprived part of town where people desperately need good affordable food. I think that teaching children and young people how to grow their own food is essential. If each of us could just grow a little food it would make a vast difference, in my humble opinion.

I grew up with my grandma who had a heart condition. Because I loved her so much I dedicated my life to become a doctor, a healer who could heal her ailments. On the day I got accepted to med school, I so happily shared the news with her. The next day, she died at the hospital. She had herself checked up, her doctor injected medication which she had an adverse reaction to and she died of anaphylactic shock. I was holding her hands while the doctors and nurses scrambled to save her. I quit Medicine as I was too broken. I am a wounded healer. Thank you ever so much for sharing this video.

She was gonna die eventually. You studied and worked so hard, and gained skills that could help you save and help many other people. Don't give up, maybe it was meant to happen because you were meant for that path, and she would want you to do a lot of good and make the most of your skills and talent. You could help a lot if it's you or destiny. Obviously grieve how you need to. But don't completely close the door to opportunities, or stop your life as it might only hurt you and make you feel more down. Do what makes you happy and helps you heal a bit. But Things change in life, and death is a natural process, everyone has their time, and everyone has to die eventually. I'm sure she's proud of you, amazed at how hard you worked to help others, and Loves you. ♥️💟 and is watching over you. Encouraging you to live your life and do what's best for you. ❤️💛✨

[@Ricca_Day]

I’m so sorry about your circumstances. I’ve been a physician for over thirty years and my mother was mishandled by her cardiologist. She died 3 months later after tremendous suffering. I’m sorry you decided to withdraw from med school, but thankful that you still have an opportunity to be a healer, should you so choose. It doesn’t have to be through such traditional means as a western medical degree. Our System is quite full of itself right now and frankly.. quite broken. But being a healer is about helping others through their suffering, healing whenever possible and bringing others into a more healthful outlook. I bet you are already doing that somehow, but if not, consider the possibilities.. or not 🤷‍♀️, just choose for yourself, and let go of any regrets about your choices, if you are at peace with them. Blessings.

[@cebukitty]

@@Ricca_Day : Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with me. I've since then shifted to law and been practicing as a lawyer for almost 20 years now. At first I took up law because I wanted to use my medical knowledge to help prosecute malpracticing doctors and help attain justice for my grandmother. In the beginning of my practice I have assisted in prosecuting medical malpractice cases. But I have since then learned to let go of my biases and grudges. Like you, I have come to realize that the system is broken. In my country, so many of those in the medical profession are overworked, underpaid, and their hard work and sacrifice unappreciated. I have successfuly helped defend medical professionals facing baseless malpactice suits as my medical knowledge gives me an advantage few lawyers possess. I have much respect for those in the medical profession. Yours is a noble quest, to heal and ease human suffering. I thank you and other medical professionaals for your noble service and sacrifice especially during the pandemic.

This strikes a chord with me. For a long time, due to PTSD from abuse, neglect, and loss, I've gained myself a savior complex, wherein I saw myself as a martyr, forever bound to my suffering in the hopes of sparing others from the same fate as I, a Prometheus to warn his children. Unfortunately, I found myself being arrogant, trying to help those even though they didn't want to be helped, forcing my will upon them without being considerate of their own needs versus my own. Although I didn't value my own life, I tried utilizing my savior complex to justify my existence, in the hopes I could achieve happiness by helping others, but at the expense of my own. It's taken me a long time to realize that ultimately, there's only so much I can do. Now...I question...am I a wounded healer?

[@volnutt1609]

You are. I believe you are. You fell into the same neurotic thing I did. My problem was the selfish broken people around me. They choose to run from themselves and place blame on me. It molded me into a person whose life was worthless, but so desperately wanted to heal others. I have come to the realization that, it's me. I have the power to forgive myself. To value me. No one will do this for me, it'd be wrong as well, as it's not really me. I have forgiven myself. 28 years of this misery has turned into something I know is good but so foreign to me. And now, I take proverbial inventory of myself. The drive in my heart, body, mind, and soul is still there. I want to help the less fortunate, because I can feel the pain that they feel. It's my nature. It's our nature.

Thank you for sharing your truth. I am no stranger to your dilemma. The rigors of the unfoldment of your curative powers (which aren't yours but God's), is soothed with the balms of knowing that all knees will bend, eventually. Sit back and witness their suffering. Be compassionate but proffer no solutions. Jesus Christ did not go around and heal people who did not ask for it. It is amazing how deep some people's bottom is! This must be hit for them to be willing to be willing. I have tried to lead the suffering, particularly my immediate family, to "the still waters" and it has only lead me to frustration and resentment. My cause had the effect on them which resulted either in their mocking criticism or their deep seated enmity. Take your pick, lol. Physician heal thyself and thy presence will be a continuous state of benediction to those who know not who we are, or what we are, or why. Let them come to you when they're willing to do whatever it takes, broken of their own self will and ego. Only the willing.

After healing parts of my past trauma, I absolutely love this video. This world loves to break you down constantly, one can stay broken, as you are hurt more and more throughout life, living broken or you ask yourself "what did I learn through this experience" gain the wisdom and be proud of yourself. You are now stronger. Then help others when/if your able too

No one likes pain. No one likes to hurt. But pain is necessary without pain we would never know something was wrong and needed to be healed. Great video ~ Thank you

The root of suffering is want and attachments. Nature is the most powerful healer that I know of. Being in nature recharges your soul and actually calms the amygdala which controls fear, anxiety, rumination (circular thinking), and negative thoughts.

I hope anybody reads this. I'm 20 and I was watching one last video before heading back to sleep after waking up in the middle of the night and I felt I myself could need the message for some personal isssues that were keeping me up. I am an artist at heart and I am in the middle of a novel that's been in the making for almost 5 years, I almost feel like this video was meant for me on several levels. Not just for my own philosophies in my waking life but also for the whole premise of my book. I swear to God I only just now watched this video and almost every single subject covered in the video down to the symbolisms and meaning of the quotes, I have mentioned down pact as if I used this video as reference. I have never seen this in my life and I am somewhat convinced I have the wisdom of someone powerful. Nobody knows me yet and im sure not many people will hear me, but I swear if these teachings were conjured by pure philosophers wayyyyyy ahead of my time and I've never looked into alot of their teachings but somehow managed to find a video that could explain the main premise of my book to the tea?? Oh trust me, someone will see how legendary this comment is one day once my knowledge comes out.

[@jessiewadkins8886]

This shed so much light and confirmed so much for me. I am a teacher focused on healing my students so they can thrive and learn, and my wife is a therapist. We both have major trauma, but have been making tremendous progress in our own healing, which makes us that much more effective in our crafts. 🤯

[@KiwikimNZ]

Fantastic, keep on with your progress. I have always thought that teaching is not just about educating, as without providing a nurturing environment the students do not learn as well. Mindfulness and other kinds of things like meditation in class would be a great idea. We all need people who care and good on you for wanting to not only teach but help your students x

I’m learning this all at once… I can blame my upbringing, my current situation, my background. The people who coddled me, betrayed me, left me, used me, and hurt me. I can blame myself for being stupid, allowing victimization, and succumbing to trauma. But blaming won’t get me anywhere. Help, healing, peace, and forgiveness can only come from within. And it all starts with, realization.

[@The-Inner-Self]

Really awesome to dissect the psychology of the wounded healer. I think the Marie-Louisze von Franz quote really summed it up, "The wounded healer is the archetype of the Self - one of its most widespread features - and is at the bottom of all genuine healing procedures." Essentially our own struggles and wounds can actually serve as a source of strength and empathy in helping others.Our own struggles are not just inconveniences to overcome, they are a tool for our own growth and ability to heal others. Challenges are the checkpoints we face in our own becoming. Thank you for sharing as always E!

[@jeffp3999]

Yes suffering so much of the mind-body complex association 'self', to a threshold point where suffering is absolutely unbearable and the mind-body complex has become to feel like torturous imprisonment and so a point of self surrender can be realised in rapturous self-transcendence to Self Realisation in the Light illuminating purely loving awareness 🌞💖👼👁️

I have been studying Jung intensely for some years now, and i can honestly say that this is without a doubt the best channel on anything Jung related. I thank you for bringing Mircea Eliade, and the great Karl Kerényi to light too, especially Kerényi had a huge influence on Jung, and anyone truly interested in Jungs work should read some of his works in my opinion, he and Jung did write a book together, about the Divine Child, and the Mother/Maiden Archetypes. The Divine Child could be a future theme for a video suggestion. I dont know if you are aware of this but Jung in a letter wrote that Henry Corbin, the french philosopher and theologist, had gave him, Jung, the rarest gift, the gift of being completely understood, that statement alone should spark some interest for further investigation. Thanks for making these videos, you are again and again taking them to another level, Jungs work is filled with so many branches of different fields and thought, and you have succeeded in bringing that wide diversity of the arts and thought into a whole, and that is remarkable. Keep up your tremendous work and calling.
