Sister Wound Healing

The Sister Wound

The sister wound is a societal construct designed to keep women divided and small. It thrives on competition and distrust, leading us to feel threatened by other women rather than supported. The more we internalize these beliefs, the further we stray from the power we have when we come together.

As Ntozake Shange, an American poet, so beautifully said, “Women supporting women is the most powerful force for change in the world.” This is the truth that will heal the sister wound. It starts with shifting our perspective—from seeing other women as competitors to seeing them as allies.

Healing the Sister Wound

As women, many of us have experienced the deep pain of the sister wound, even if we didn’t have a name for it. The sister wound manifests as jealousy, insecurity, comparison, or even fear when we relate to other women. Instead of seeing other women as allies, we view them as competition. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

How Did We Get Here?

There was a time when women gathered together in support, sharing wisdom, healing, and strength. In these spaces, we thrived, lifted each other up, and created change. But as women began to gain power, the structural system of our current society worked to divide us. We were conditioned to see each other as threats rather than sisters. Media, societal norms, and advertisements reinforced the belief that women should compete for beauty, success, love, or approval.

Whether it’s reality shows pitting women against each other or social pressures to be the “best” woman, wife, or mother, current societal structure continues to condition us to see one another as rivals. This leads to behaviors that deepen the sister wound: judgment, comparison, and distrust.

How Do We Heal?

Healing the sister wound begins with acknowledging it. We can’t pretend it doesn’t exist or say, “I don’t do that.” Real healing comes from recognizing that we have all been influenced by these beliefs at some point, and we have the power to change.

The sister wound thrives in isolation, convincing us to stay disconnected and alone. But real healing happens in community. It begins when we share our stories, support one another, and stop the cycle of judgment.

Women’s Circles: A Path to Healing

One of the most powerful ways to heal the sister wound is through women’s circles. These gatherings create safe spaces for women to come together, share their vulnerabilities, and listen without judgment. In these spaces, we realize that the women we may have once envied or compared ourselves to carry the same wounds and fears. Together, we heal by seeing ourselves in each other. By sharing our shame, pain, and fears in these circles, we strip the sister wound of its power. We create space for understanding, compassion, and connection.
