Embracing Your Calling: The Journey of a Healer
Bittersweetness of Caring
You know you’re a healer because the pain in the world speaks directly to your heart, stirring an undeniable urge to bring about healing and light. Some people see it as a noble path, but its not about nobility for the healers and light workers who are suffering from depression, who try to reject the calling but can’t. The healers journey is a calling that comes with the challenge of feeling the weight of the pain in the world. It’s precisely this sensitivity to pain—this inability to turn away—that marks you as a healer.
Answering this call often means upending your life as you know it. Priorities shift dramatically, moving away from personal or material ambitions to a focus on serving humanity. This journey can be lonely and disorienting, as it demands you to step away from societal norms and embrace a path less traveled.
The Role of Spiritual Counseling in Your Healing Journey
Modern counseling offers a robust framework for understanding the unexpressed parts of us, yet many people on a healing path need a therapy that can reach the spiritual dimensions of our experiences. This is where spiritual counseling steps in, bridging the gap between conventional therapy and the profound, often mystical aspects of our journey.
Research and experience alike show that spiritual counseling can significantly broaden the scope of therapy. This form of therapy validates and incorporates the spiritually isolated parts of ourselves—the aspects we might hide away for fear of being deemed too “woo-woo” or unconventional.
In spiritual counseling, nothing that’s true for you is off-limits. Your beliefs, experiences, and aspirations are not only welcomed; they’re seen as essential components of your healing and growth.
