The Wounded Healer

Just saw a youtube clip by Humanity Healing on the Wounded Healer.
The premise was very good, that a truly effective healer, is one that has been wounded before.
Because if you do not understand the pain, how can you treat it effectively....
And because of the pain, you would wish to help others reduce their suffering.

Is that really the case for our social workers, counsellors, doctors?

They should also understand the fact that healing comes from the heart, not the mind, that the various techniques taught in school, does not always apply, esp if you do not have the compassion and heart to help/serve.

May all healers out there, work with their heart, and have the compassion and wisdom to benefit and heal others with the right motivation and means
