RE: Toxic Healers, Teachers, and Coaches

Yep.

I would say it’s no less rife than any other industry, mind. However the consequences can be more disastrous because healers/gurus/etc are mucking around with peoples’ emotional and psychological vulnerabilities.

Any time I experience a ‘toxic healer’ I always apply an alchemical approach.... can I turn this shit into gold?!

I ask myself, “OK, so what have I learned from this? What will I do differently next time?”

Another useful thing I’ve done is play devil’s advocate with myself.

“What if this teacher/healer was right? What if my reaction was the problem?”

A few times I realised I was pissed because I’d been taken to a rather uncomfortable edge.

But then a few times I’ve also come to realise that no, I wasn’t imagining things, they really were sociopaths and greedy pricks!

I’m sorry to hear that you’ve had some crappy experiences. But then it also sounds like you’ve also developed a great sense of your own boundaries, and learned also how not to be like that in your own work!!!

Bingo! Perception is everything! And that's ultimately what I'm guiding people through in my Toxicity Overhaul Program.
