How to know if your inner wounds are calling you to uncover your soul’s unique gifts 🩸

By Lian Brook-Tyler

(Even and especially if you dismiss the notion of wounds OR feel you’ve already healed)

If you’re a coach, therapist, or practitioner of transformative, healing or spiritual work and…

🩸Despite thinking you’ve already escaped the rat race and are doing your soul work (certainly compared to friends and family, or your past self), you’re still feeling constrained by someone else’s ideas of how to do what you do… maybe your industry’s, coach’s, teacher’s, parents’, or culture’s.

🩸Even though you’re already a long way down to the path of healing your own trauma, you keep your wounds separate from the work you do with others.

🩸Whilst you make a positive difference with your clients, you know something’s holding you back from making an even deeper impact or having a greater reach - and by now you know the answer doesn’t lie in just getting better at marketing and sales.

🩸Although you fell in love with the field you’re in when you first came to it, now some years (or decades) in, you often feel bored, resentful or like you’re just going through the motions.

🩸You know you’re different in some way, maybe you’re neurodivergent, extraordinarily sensitive, have a disability, or experience supposedly impossible things such as premonitions or seeing or hearing things that you aren’t meant to… But you do what you can to hide or overcome your difference rather than honour this aspect of your uniqueness in your work.

These are signs that suggest the Wounded Healer archetype is calling to be made conscious in your life and work.

BUT you don’t need to identify as or call yourself a healer for this to be a vital archetype for you to embody, and although the word “wounded” probably doesn’t appeal to you much, as James Hillman said…

"...in the goblet of the wound, there is the soul. This means that it is the psyche, the purpose of our love, bleeding, and that the wound is a grail."

As you make friends with your inner Wounded Healer, you’ll enter the grail in which you can alchemise your wounds into the unique soul medicine that you serve first to yourself and then to others.

Listen to Lian’s All The Everything episode “Are you a wounded healer? Here’s how you’ll know... and how to heal.”

You’ll discover how to see the precise ways the Wounded Healer is showing up for you, and practical ways to work with it to uncover your soul’s purpose and become your unique medicine… the deepest, most powerful, most rewarding and mythical work it’s possible for your soul to do.

All my love,

Lian
