I was surprised to learn that Dr. Phil McGraw just figured in a divorce!

Well, that's just a fact of life. Even our esteemed relationship healers are themselves wounded. Isn't this what life is all about? That we are helping one another in a boat where we all find ourselves in? That we are most helpful when we understand, and when we know first hand what life is about?
Well, Dr. Phil reminds me of how all of us are indeed "wounded healers."

Where did you hear this? Make sure its a reputable source, because I have heard the same thing about a year ago in the tabloids. They will print anything just to sell their magazines. There have been rumors about Dr. Phil getting a divorce for quite a while now, but I won't believe any of them until a real news source says something. Besides, she is still in the audience every day he tapes, so that doesn't look like someone who is having a divorce.
I am not saying it isn't happening, or that it could never happen to Dr. Phil, I am just saying the sources that I have been hearing it from aren't credible, and there is evidence to prove otherwise.

Yes, we are in our own ways and experiences be the "wounded healers." We can share the healing part because we have felt and we know what worked and what did not.
Not just the sentiments that we can understand, we know how to make things work and how to mend things anew.
Healers are not necessarily in experience though, it must be at some point or aspect in their lives, they have felt and have seen how to work things out in such a situation.
Whatever it may, we can always be healers ourselves.

Why am I not surprised? That guy is getting pathological in his need for attention. It was only a matter of time before someone called him on it.

I just searched for this, and right now, everything being said about a divorce is a rumor. I wouldn't be surprised though..this man is a hypocrite! I used to love to watch him, until he did that big weight loss challenge. I really didn't like him sitting on his high horse, demanding others to live in that house and change their lives by losing weight, when he's overweight himself!!!
