Welcome to Wounded Healers Institute Training Admissions!
Are you someone who is looking for direction and understanding in life professionally? Are you looking to gain foundational knowledge on universal healing? Are you looking to improve your clinical base knowledge on what it means to be a trauma therapist, work psychedelic medicine into your approach, develop how to utilize therapeutic dissociation, or learn enhanced bracketing research techniques to support or develop your researcher mind? Are you looking to learn more about trauma, dissociation, and the Addiction as Dissociation Model (ADM) and The Path of the Wounded Healer (PWH)? Well, this is the place to start or restart your wounded healer journey…
Our admissions process is for anyone applying to our Wounded Healer’s training program. More information: HERE or you can contact us at: support@woundedhealersinstitute.org
Our training/educational program walks you through the Addiction as Dissociation Model (ADM) and the Path of the Wounded Healer (PWH) in a way that is experiential, embodying, and empowering! We teach the Meeting Area Screening and Assessment (MASA) and help build resiliency with our Principles of Conditioning. We help train therapeutic dissociation with Mindful Dissociation and help all participants learn and master memory reconsolidation for developmental trauma, normative dissociation, and our universal addictions. At our more advanced paths, we explore our Enhanced Bracketing Techniques to help enhance your performance.
Our mottos are “Doctor, heal thyself… and we are willing to take you with us” or “Take it to the medicine” or “Take it to the meeting area”. We see that “The collective unconscious is our teacher” and “We are addicted to creating balance in the world”. “We are here to bring you back to now.”
Our elevator pitch is: “We are a mental health gym and spa” or the longer version “We are a mental health gym that supports people in healing their developmental traumas, normative dissociation, and universal addictions. We educate on our model to help you become a better self and provider.
Through discourse, self-work, regulation, and preventative regulation measures we help you solidify the Wounded Healer that you are or were meant to become. We help you develop and sharpen your therapeutic dissociation skills by creating a qualitative learning environment to let you explore consciousness and unconscious with cannabis products, meditation, breathwork, and creative expression. We educate on navigating altered states of consciousness and how to activate innate states of healing. All human beings have access to these healing states. At the end of the day, we are also educating on how to die.
We typically have 3 categories of people who are contacting us…
1) For people who are looking for on-going psycho-education on the Addiction as Dissociation Model (ADM) to support their personal or professional curiosity, we offer our FREE ADM introductory class HERE.

These educational services are usually for parents, caretakers, organizations, communities, professionals from other disciplines, or informed citizens looking to understand our stance on addiction, why it is important, and how to implement it into your life.
