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!!!
