Healer, you weren’t meant to rescue others to feel worthy. You were meant to love yourself back to life—and let that love overflow.

The Healer’s Pattern: Loving the Wounded

“How did you know you were meant to be a healer?”
“Because I kept falling in love with broken people.”

If you’ve ever felt magnetized to the wounded, the lost, the emotionally unavailable or the deeply complex—it might not be a flaw. It might be your medicine calling.

Those of us drawn to healing work often begin with an unconscious curriculum: love the broken so fiercely that maybe we won’t have to face our own fractures. We mistake emotional labor for intimacy, and empathy for compatibility. We think if we can just love them enough, maybe we’ll feel whole, too.

Spoiler: it doesn’t work.

Why We’re Alone: Healing Isn’t a Performance

“Then why are you alone?”
“Because I’m broken too. So I’m falling in love with myself to get a taste of my own medicine.”

There comes a sacred pause on the healer’s journey. A space between stories. A moment where you realize:

• You’re not here to fix others.
• You’re not here to be chosen for your usefulness.
• You’re not here to keep proving your worth by tending to pain that isn’t yours.

You’re here to become medicine. And that requires solitude—not isolation, but sacred separation.

Alone is not a punishment. Alone is where you stop bleeding for love. Where you stop seeking mirrors in other people and finally sit with your own reflection. It’s where your broken bits aren’t judged—they’re witnessed, honored, and finally held—by you.

The Path of a Healer: Through Self-Devotion

To “fall in love with yourself” isn’t bubble baths and affirmations (though those help). It’s a gritty, honest reckoning. It’s:

• Unpacking why you always felt safer loving others than being loved.
• Noticing how you shrink when you’re seen.
• Choosing not to chase.
• Choosing to stay.

When you give yourself a taste of your own medicine, you realize just how powerful your love really is—and how deeply you needed it all along.

You Are Not Alone for Being Alone

To every healer walking through this season of solitude, feeling like you’re too intense, too deep, too much, too tired:

You’re not broken. You’re becoming whole.

The people you once attracted were teachers. Mirrors. Lessons wrapped in heartbreak. And now, your biggest teacher is your own heart—waiting for you to finally come home.
