Welcome to WHI Media and Publishing!

Wounded Healers Institute is committed to creating content and material that will last and past the right side of history test. Our standards are to be human and real as we can be. We specialize in developmental trauma, dissociation, and universal addictions.

We are an independent educational program that teaches memory reconsolidation, trauma resolution, memory healing, recovery healing, and how to best use psychedelics (e.g., psychedelic integration) to help people heal. 

We publish on topics that relate to our doctoral work, namely: trauma, dissociation, addiction, recovery, healing, health, wellness, psychedelics, consciousness/unconscious, memory systems, somatic healing, historical trauma, spirituality and personal growth, positive psychology, moral development, experiential research, and universal or qualitative concepts that help people heal and grow.
