OUR TRUE SELF By Angela Dunning
W
e can learn much from wise, supportive others; at times, we do need another person to physically treat, affirm, guide, comfort, or support us. After all, co-regulation and connection to other people are essential for our well-being from the moment of our conception. But, there also comes a time when we need to discover and
turn toward our own inner healer and give ourselves the support, wisdom, and healing we need. Like the master of the healing arts himself, Chiron, we need to take ourselves off to our own metaphorical cave at times and turn inwards to explore previously untapped resources, medicine, and potential. To meet with our own inner healer and put together all we have previously learned so we can now harness our own healing capacities to help ourselves.
