Wounded Healer Quotes

“Who can save a child from a burning house without taking the risk of being hurt by the flames? Who can listen to a story of loneliness and despair without taking the risk of experiencing similar pains in his own heart and even losing his precious peace of mind? In short: “Who can take away suffering without entering it?”
― Henri J.M. Nouwen, The Wounded Healer

“Healing stories are magickal tales born from personal tribulation and victory, which are then shared.”
― S. Kelley Harrell, Teen Spirit Guide to Modern Shamanism

“Healing the world begins with healing yourself.”
― Anthon St. Maarten
