For those of us who desire to serve and lead others, we must make sure we have a certain level of healing and wholeness. If we don’t, we’ll attract others with the same pains, wounding, and character deficits as our own. Without some degree of healing and maturity, we will put ourselves, and the organization, at risk. Trauma, abuse, and past conflict can skew how we interpret the world and deal with others. We are not exempt because we’re credentialed professionals.
