I don't think we can do anything for anyone else besides ourselves. In being our best, most balanced selves, using our skills and attributes to the best of our abilities I think we can positively influence others. I think T's are trying to do this and where they succeed, are their best selves and use their education, training, skills and attributes to get us to understand how to do that for our selves is what therapy is all about.

I think getting "fixed" has to come from the inside out. When you're injured and a chunk of your skin is taken out, you gradually heal from the bottom up, the missing chunk "fills in". A doctor can clean it and give you neosporin, and bandage it, etc. until it heals but only your body is going to heal it? If you don't eat right to get the nutrients needed for healing, don't pay attention and work to keep the wound clean, ignore the doctor when there's signs of infection, etc., your body isn't going to be able to fix that wound no matter what someone on the outside does.

But even when we heal in that way, there's going to be a scar. We can never be like we were before the injury. Some scars don't get in the way but with some serious injuries, the scar tissue pulls and is too tight and can be painful. Some scars are ugly and might cause us additional scarring by how we decide to feel about that ugliness.
