The Pain that Heals: Embracing the Wounded Healer
Could it be that in today’s ‘quick fix’ society we have lost the capacity to endure? Revisiting the myth of Chiron, the Wounded Healer and outlining the importance of creative suffering in the development of consciousness and the healing process, Benig Mauger, Jungian psychotherapist and author suggests that the capacity to endure and transcend is an essential part of adult life, and the healing process. “I will also answer such questions as: How can we reconcile our selves to being both flawed and perfect at the same time? How can we embrace our humanity and our divinity? and how can we heal our wounds in such a way that they becomes conduits to our spiritual growth?”
