The Healer And The Healed
Whenever we are going through any kind of recovery process it is common to feel like a victim, entirely dependent on something outside outside ourselves (i.e. doctors, books, diets, support groups, medicine, etc.) in controlling our journey and even determining the outcome to some extent.
The reality is that true recovery is empowering.
This is because, in the process of being healed, you are both healing and the healer at the same time.
Think about that statement for a second.
It acknowledges that you play an active role and participate in your own healing. You are not merely a passive bystander.
The healing process is also self-reinforcing: the more you heal, the stronger a healer you become.
So stick with your healing.
Accept and participate in your role as healer.
And remember that recovery is supposed to be healing.
