Reflections fr a Wounded Healer

[Guest guest]

I put up a blog post yesterday which reflects some of my experiences and feelings as a therapist and chaplain who falls under the umbrella of " wounded healer. " Although not speaking specifically in terms of ACT, I've used ACT successfully with clients and with myself. The blog post speaks of the importance of mindfulness and reflects the need for acceptance.

The post also reflects my deep respect for the clients and patients I've worked with, and what I have and have not learned which I believe have been beneficent for people.My hope is that it may be of some value to those who read it here.

It is comfronting to know I am not single out as one without a famly. Although,

I am sad for anyone who doesnt have the ideal family connection. I yearned for

connection all my life, still do just dont think it should be a connection with

a member of the opposite sex.

Still its a struggle not to compare myself to what I hear other peoples holiday

are like. As much as I can I try to celebrate with those who are in my life

today, whether it be a coworker, a physical therapist or someone in need.

Special now has a differant meaning to me then it did. Thank you for sharing

your thoughts and story.
