THE "UNAWARE WOUNDED HEALER": HOW AFFECTIVE AND SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES CAN "HEAL" THE HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS THAT WORK ON THEM

Abstract
We know that every therapist becomes a "wounded healer" the moment he goes through his own personal therapy journey and is
able to activate his own recovery process. Beyond all the techniques that the therapist can use to "heal" a patient, one's own personal
life path also significantly and unconsciously influences the healing process. The question I ask is therefore the following, w hy can't
a person who has in some way a "woundness", and who has activated without therapy a process of recovery (e.g. through family
resilience patterns) be a wounded healer? From this perspective, even a person with a complex disability, placed in a positive
context, can turn into an "unaware wounded healer".
