Perhaps this is a dirty little secret in the healing industry. Healers out there – embarrassed that they still have health conditions, and hiding it while they continue to help others.
And what’s the problem with healers having a health condition??
How does having a health condition preclude you from doing healing work that you’re qualified to do? (apart from symptoms being too overbearing to concentrate or hold space for others).
But I get it – and I’ve felt the same. The shame of not having your own stuff sorted and feeling like a hypocrite. There’s a personal value to be the best person and role model you can be.
But being a role model does NOT equal being absolutely perfect.
And that leads me on to some mistaken thought patterns, which holds the shame in place.
MISTAKEN THOUGHT 1 – you believe there’s a thing called perfect health & that you should be that
Well, you might as well aim to be a unicorn.
