Healing the Healer: Why Your Self-Sacrifice Is Actually Spiritual Violence

There is a dark irony in healthcare: The people who save lives are often the worst at sustaining their own.

Self-Neglect is rampant among women healers over 50. We prioritize the patient, the client, the child, the partner, and the dog. By the time we get to ourselves? There is nothing left but dust.

Pathological Altruism This isn't just "being busy." This is a trauma response called Pathological Altruism. It is the compulsion to help others even when it harms you. If you are skipping meals, delaying your own mammograms, or ignoring your own mental health to serve the system, you are not a saint. You are hurting yourself.

The Symptom: Cynicism (The Crown Block) When you give from an empty cup for decades, you don't just get tired physically; you get tired spiritually. You lose connection to the "Why."

• Why does this matter?

• Does anyone even care?

• I am all alone. This is a blockage of the Crown Chakra. You have become a machine, disconnected from the divine spark that made you a healer in the first place.

The Cure: The White Light Shower To heal, you must apply your clinical skills to your own life. In today's episode, I guide you through the White Light Shower. It is a visualization that reconnects you to Source. It reminds you: You are not just a worker. You are a vessel.
