Wounded Healer’s School and Library Announcements and Updates
Wounded Healers Institute is introducing our experiential learning to help those heal from educational, institutional, developmental and attachment, betrayal, spiritual, religious, and existential traumas that are often the root causes and the more pronounced unresolved traumas that often accommany quantifiable trauma and stress-related conditions.
WHI School offers an education in emotional intelligence (EI) through social engagement, social skill building, imaginal exposure, enhanced bracketing techniques, and social orientation. People need to learn healing through experiential repair. We educate on healing so more healing is happening. With Dr. Adam at the helm, join him for the kind of education that you wish you had and forgot that you wanted.
Members and students join us for recreating the conditioning of maintaining a balanced life through our course and gym structure. Through our process of conditioning healing and recovery principles into your life. Like the Heimlich Maneuver, we are educating everyone on psychological healing and the basics of memory reconsolidation. Our approach recognizes that industrialized education, psychological and societal parenting failures, systematic failure to produce moral development due to unidentified addictions. We offer an individual path for those learners who either reject the corporatized education programing and training that governmental policies have promoted. We decondition the training so one can get the education that they need to be a morally developed adult through learning healing.
We have a “meet and greet” with our weekly Tea Time with Dr. Adam (Public Office Hours).
In our WHI Library, you will find our unfiltered published works that have not been published publicly. They are what our blogs were turned into with AI and Dr. Adam finalizing and editing. These works represent our path of becoming a wounded healer ourselves. As an academic and research institution, we hold our knowledge sacred and is publicly available to those who are willing to support our work and efforts. See WHI Library for more details.

Education and Training Program: To enroll in any training or educational aspect of the program, prospective participants must submit an application and undergo an initial interview to assess suitability. The application requires an essay, paper, or poem articulating the applicant’s “wounded healer’s story.” This qualitative process is considered a significant component, aiming to educate participants in developing their implicit dissociative process to reduce their “addiction to our reality” and to facilitate healing from developmental traumas, normative dissociation patterns, and universal addictions. Prior to engaging in training, attendees are oriented towards the ADM through prerequisite coursework and mental training. The explicit focus on “experiential scaffolding,” “state-dependent learning,” and “mindful dissociation” indicates that PWH aims to fundamentally alter an individual’s relationship with their internal states and memories. This moves beyond mere cognitive or behavioral modification towards a deeper, somatic, and spiritual transformation, aligning with the concept of “positive addictions” by re-channeling ingrained patterns towards beneficial, self-healing processes.
