WOUNDED HEALERS
WOUNDED HEALERS
Hail to all the wounded healers of the world!
You gave us the greatest gift.
You not only healed yourself,
you also gave us the gift to heal ourselves.
What did they suffer from?
From which suffering did they liberate themselves?
Their liberation is our liberation as well.
Hail to all the wounded healers of the world!
Know your own suffering.
Choose the wounded healer who will guide you to liberation.
Do the work as they did.
Hail to all the wounded healers of the world!

[This poem is dedicated to Carl Gustav Jung who believed that “‘only the wounded physician heals,’ and then only to the extent that he has healed himself.”]
