Scenario

When helping others heal becomes avoiding personal trauma

I facilitate healing circles for trauma survivors but my own childhood abuse hasn't been addressed and I wonder if I'm helping or just avoiding my own healing.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Service to community can become a mechanism for avoiding personal healing work, creating ethical and emotional complications for traditional healers.
