The SALT TALK with Jermine Alberty - The Wounded Healer

The Wounded Healer

09/04/24 • 37 min

As we join the nation in celebrating National Recovery Month this September, we dedicate this episode to promoting and supporting recovery practices, honoring the vibrant recovery community, and focusing on the importance of recovery for caregivers. Many of our caregivers are wounded healers, and we want to thank them for their service while encouraging them to care for themselves. I'm thrilled to have my guest and friend, Dr. Omar Reda, with me today. Dr. Reda is a board-certified psychiatrist, Harvard-trained trauma expert, humanitarian, and author who has devoted much of his career to helping people recover from psychological trauma.
In this episode, we will define the concept of the wounded healer, explore its historical roots, discuss modern-day healers, examine the wounded healer's gifts, and conclude with a discussion on balancing helping others with self-care.
