I think I would be considered an unrecognized healer, though I have realized it recently. However, I don't know HOW I do what I do, only that I do it. If that makes sense. I am not a textbook case. I think what I do is provide other people with the confidence that they can heal themselves.
I easily attract people who need to speak their feelings and thoughts. Many of them tell me deeply personal things within moments of meeting me, somehow knowing that I will not judge them and that I'm truly listening to them. They are extremely grateful afterward. They are lighter than they were before they encountered me.
I'm able to take on the act of listening to problems, painful memories, and the like without keeping their feelings. This is what I mean when I say I don't know how I do what I do. I don't consciously block or do any method of recovery afterward. It just happens. I don't look for people who need to talk, but I know when I see one, and they recognize this quality in me as well. I make myself accessible and they always come to me. Sometimes I don't even realize I've sat next to one of them until they begin speaking to me.
So, I guess what I'm saying in my usual long-winded way is that not all healing is physical or goes by what we've read in books. And certainly many of us don't understand that we're healing until someone gets us to pause and consider that. Just something to think about.
Edited to add:
In response to detecting other healers, I am immediately drawn to other healers, probably in the way that people are drawn to tell me their painful memories or work out their problems with me. The dynamic is different, though. I feel at peace with another healer, not as though I'm helping them like I do with other people.
