In this episode, we explore the timeless image of the wounded healer, tracing its roots from ancient Greek myths of Chiron and Asclepius to the psychological work of Carl Gustav Jung and Sigmund Freud. We examine how healing temples in Epidaurus used dreams and sacred rituals to treat the sick, how the Rod of Asclepius became the enduring medical symbol, and how the stories of Christ and Socrates reflect the same archetype. We follow the shamanic traditions described by Mircea Eliade and connect them to modern therapy, showing how personal wounds, transference, and the unconscious shape the healing process. Finally, we see how the healer’s own suffering becomes a shared light that brings wholeness to both healer and patient.
