Abstract: Much has been written about the motivations for wounded healers to pursue work in the helping professions. Those with painful life experiences can have a unique ability to understand the pain of others, and through their recovery, they may gain insight and understanding to benefit others. The counselor development process can be fraught with challenges that may have a detrimental impact on wounded healers. As such, counselor educators can benefit from amending their approaches to ensure that wounded healers gain the skills necessary to support their mental health and well-being, effectiveness, and personal and professional development. This article introduces a framework for understanding wounded healers and recommends topics and practices for inclusion in the curriculum. With an emphasis on wellness and self-care, promoting help-seeking, building a community of support, and boosting shame resilience and self-compassion, this article highlights specific training elements tailored for wounded healers in counselor education.
