Thank you for your reply. I upvoted it, but I don't think it was needed, as @ana-stasia got back to me, and told me what I wanted to know.
I actually know much of what you wrote above. I just wanted to know whether the author of the article knew all of these.
As you noticed, I was quite aggressive in my original comment. These were the days when I was new to Steemit, and I didn't know how to find good content. I would contact authors directly when they published New Age content that was too vague for me to understand. Now I follow a few people and mute the ones I do not like. (I do follow @ana-stasia, though).
I hear that what you are saying is that people may use the assistance of somebody who has been thru the process of healing.
I could write about a programmer who had to write plenty of software for their own computer before they were able to do it professionally for others ;)
There is a scene in Matrix when Morpheus points Neo to a door, and says that Neo will have to enter it. (But Morpheus still enters with them to comfort them).
Everything is symbiotic, all happening at multiple levels; our individual choice which level(s) to engage with.
As I see it, 'comfort' is different from 'healing' and 12 days is not a large amount of time :D
Namaste!
