Imperative and States
If you are ruled by the Imperative to BE HELPFUL, inhabiting the Wounded Healer Persona is especially useful. A Wounded Healer combines double states of being Open (Brazenly Exposed) and (Nowhere Safer Than Here) while also remaining deeply Grounded (Facing Square Ahead). The art of the Wounded Healer is to employ a full range of resolved past personal fears in a way that benefits others.

The Genius Loci of the Wounded Healer Persona keeps it locked in the south east of the Alpine Territory of Purpose.
There, you will find the Sanguine Snow Leopard and Languishing Shrew existing as shadows to one another. It is the power of the Wounded Healer that keeps them hidden from one another.
By acknowledging both the Confident and Depressed parts of yourself, you make possible the transformation of the Wounded Healer into the Mood of Restraint.
Though less helpful to others than the Wounded Healer Persona, the Mood of Restraint serves as a more honest connector between the opposing aspects of Depression and Confidence that drive you to action in the true self quest for a life of Purpose.

If being a Wounded Healer is no longer serving your purpose in life, you may exchange it by adopting the Mood of Restraint into your Personal Menagerie.
