After completing the main season of the WA Real podcast, I realised this applied to the bulk of people I had interviewed.  People who had had a major life event/experience and, rather than completing the full healing journey of to clean up and remove the impact of the event/experience, set about trying to save the world instead - replicating destructive patterns in the world.   Many of the life event i describe in more detail in my short ebook - free download   Description from show:  Lead Your Best Life: Why Healers, Coaches & Leaders Must Heal Themselves First.

We are all wounded people. To be human is to experience pain and suffering in life. Usually, our knee-jerk response to pain is to avoid it, or deny it, or distract ourselves from it. But as the Beloved, we are called to claim and embrace our brokenness. What if brokenness is just as intimate a part of our being as our chosenness and our blessedness? This week, we explore the movement of brokenness in our journey of becoming the Beloved.

As pastors and ministry leaders, how can understanding our own journeys better ensure that we are serving from a place of healing rather than exhaustion, burnout, or pain? In this week's conversation on FrontStage BackStage, host Jason Daye is joined by Bethany Dearborn Hiser. Bethany is the Director of Soul Care for Northwest Family Life. She's a bilingual social worker, chaplain, and pastoral advocate who has served in a variety of ministry and social service settings. Her new book is entitled From Burned Out to Beloved: Soul Care for Wounded Healers. Together, Bethany and Jason examine the often overlooked impact on our own lives that comes as a result of exposure to the crises and difficulties of those we serve. Bethany shares insights on how we can care for our own souls to help us avoid or overcome burnout and be more effective in our ministry.Dig deeper into this conversation: Find the free Weekly Toolkit, including the Ministry Leaders Growth Guide, all resource links, and more, at http://PastorServe.org/networkSome key takeaways from this conversation:Bethany Dearborn Hiser on the importance of self-care and personal growth in achieving success: "Taking care of yourself and doing inner work is part of the job."Bethany Dearborn Hiser on the danger of tying our sense of identity and self-worth to external factors like our work, achievements, or the opinions of others: "If we put our identity in what we do, then our worth depends on the people that we're working with, or how successful we are in our work."Bethany Dearborn Hiser on the significance of companionship and support for pastors in their spiritual journey and ministry: "It's such a lonely position sometimes for pastors…. You really need a companion in this, and there's nothing wrong with that. Jesus invited and had companions in his ministry."----------------Looking to dig more deeply into this topic and conversation?

The archetype of the “Wounded Healer” from Carl Jung refers to those who have developed an immense amount of empathy through fighting their own vulnerabilities and struggles, and have a deep desire to assist others in their journey. They are armed with the wisdom from their experience as well as that of others. Wounded Healers strive to help us circumnavigate obstacles with the integration of shadow work while developing an authentic love for self and others. However, this way of being presents a certain paradox in the life of the wounded healer.

This sermon explores the transformative work of Christ to give us beauty for ashes and bring healing to our woundedness. As Henry Nouwen states: "Nobody escapes being wounded. We are all wounded people, whether physically, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually. The main question is not 'How can we hide our wounds?' so we don't have to be embarrassed but 'How can we put our woundedness in the service of others?' When our wounds cease to be a source of shame and become a source of healing, we have become wounded healers."

We often name the gospel from this Sunday as “Doubting Thomas." One of the things that has always struck me about this particular gospel passage is that Jesus has now risen from the dead, glorious victory over death and he has wounds. Why does he have wounds? Is this what it will be like when we all are raised? We will have all our wounds or broken legs, and our bad hips. We will all have the same old things we had when we were living.

In this episode of Vital Psychedelic Conversations, Johanna interviews Angie Leek, LMFT/LPC-S, SEP: Vital instructor, Founder of the Holos Foundation for Transpersonal Healing, and psychotherapist offering KAP through her private practice, Holos Counseling; and Justin LaPree: Vital graduate, decorated Marine, former firefighter, and Founder and President of Heroic Path to Light; a retreat center in Austin, Texas offering psychedelic-assisted therapy and community to veterans, first responders, and Gold/White Star families. LaPree shares his personal journey of struggling to reintegrate into life after war and the daily traumas he lived as a firefighter leading to an eventual suicide attempt, and the healing he found when he rediscovered the community and purpose he had been longing for. And Leek tells her story of her spiritual emergency and the nonlinear path she found for coming to terms with her repressed trauma, further illustrating a common theme we see in this space of the wounded healer, and the challenge of taking care of yourself first in order to be able to heal others. They discuss the importance of specialized communities for trauma healing; the need for a support system and the power of sharing experiences with others; how they both work with their clients, the idea of viewing preparation as “pre-integration”; why families and friends also need to be prepared; and how, if you feel like something needs to change or you're in need of a community, maybe it all begins with you. They also talk about how much they loved Vital and the impact it's had on their life paths. The deadline for applications for the 2024 cohort of Vital is tomorrow, December 20, at midnight, so if you're ready to take the leap, head to vitalpsychedelictraining.com to apply now!
