If I were living in a tribal society (and had the treatments necessary to keep me alive to adulthood), I would have been selected as a shaman:
"The wounded healer is an archetype for a shamanic trail and journey. This process is important to the young shaman. S/he undergoes a type of sickness that pushes her or him to the brink of death. This happens for two reasons:
- The shaman crosses over to the underworld. This happens so the shaman can venture to its depths to bring back vital information for the sick, and the tribe.
- The shaman must become sick to understand sickness. When the shaman overcomes his or her own sickness s/he will hold the cure to heal all that suffer. This is the uncanny mark of the wounded healer.[24]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamanism
I remember being a small child and valuing wisdom to share to others above all other things.
At four years old I felt an urgent instinct to heal the environment.
If you have CF, do you feel a natural instinct to heal others or use your knowledge for healing?
