Am I a Healer?

I like to go to other groups who practice healing together, to see how other healers practice, and to share in the loving energy.
Last month I was at a group, and afterward a woman came up to me and said: "What do you do?" and I said, "I'm a healer."
She quickly responded: "I'd never be so arrogant to call myself a healer."
"Well," I replied, "I hope you don't think I'm arrogant!"
When I got home, my feelings were hurt. How rude! But then I began to see her comment as a gift. I'd had the same reaction over the years from many sources, and so it was clearly time to examine this in the spirit of moving forward.
In our Code of Conduct, we are referred to as Healers. In England, there is a Doctor-Healer network. Five NFSH members work in hospitals there with the job title "Healer."
As half-Brit, half-American I'm used to cultural discrepancies. So could we be stumbling across one here? My American friends say: "I'm not a healer - the energy only flows through me." Yet a writer knows the words flow through her, and a composer knows he doesn't own the music. Both are comfortable describing themselves with a noun.
I think the true difference lies in our heritage. In England, we have Celtic roots, and these roots are still celebrated. The Healer is an archetypal role in Celtic mythology.
In America, we have predominantly Puritan roots if we are not Native American (my Native friends have no problem with the word "Healer"). But when we call ourselves "Healer" some people think: "only Jesus can heal."
It's as if you're comparing yourself with Him. With these glasses on, it can be easy to make the jump that someone who calls herself a Healer is arrogant.
It's very important to me that my job title reaches people, and doesn't alienate them. So I mulled these ideas over for many days. In meeting this problem before, I'd already gone through several job titles that seemed to fit like a badly-cut suit: Energy Worker, Energy Healer. Even Spiritual Healer didn't seem as inclusive for my clients as I'd like it to be.
One of the wonderful things about our organization is that we can call ourselves by all these titles, and more. But the one I've chosen for now is Healing Practitioner. When I introduce myself in future, you'll hear me saying: "I'm a Healing Practitioner for Healing in America." Then the question becomes: "What is Healing in America?" Or "What kind of healing is that?" rather than focusing on whether I have the right to call myself a healer.
As you can see, my journey is a constant evolution, and I hope that it's a help on your journey too. -Cynthia
