Join Dr. Rob and Debra as they explore the story of the "wounded healer" and why it resonates so deeply, especially in the world of therapy, coaching and personal development. Many of us step onto the path of personal growth or become coaches, therapists or healers after facing our own pain. The “wounded healer” is a compelling archetype—someone who has been through suffering and channels that experience to help others.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why pain is a calling and how these experiences nudge us to seek change, deeper understanding or even to help others on their own journey
• The "Stages of Seeking" and how borrowing from the wisdom of the Gita can help explain the four types of seekers—those in pain, creators, knowledge-seekers, and wisdom-seekers
• Moving beyond the pain and how true transformation only comes after discovering who we want to become. As Debra shares, “The archetype of the wounded healer, you want to transcend that. You don’t want to own it for the rest of your life”
• How our own self-work directly impacts how we support others. The deeper we’ve gone in our personal growth, the more space we can hold for clients to transcend, create and connect to their true self
• The struggle with receiving money for your healing work and how our cultural complexes around money often show up in coaching and therapy
