Description

The Wound to Wonder Workshop integrates attachment theory, developmental psychology, trauma-informed care, psychodrama, DBT and somatic awareness to examine how early relational wounding organizes belief systems, behavioral patterns, and unconscious role enactments. Participants will explore Original Wounding, interrupt automatic role entrapment, and guide clients toward post-reactive consciousness using a structured framework known as BOPS (Boundaries, Ownership, Perspective, and Surrender). This workshop emphasizes ethical experiential work, avoidance of retraumatization, respect for client autonomy, and application within participants’ professional scope of practice.

Learning Objectives

Participants will be able to:

  • Distinguish between reaction, reenactment, and conscious response in clinical settings.

  • Identify and interrupt automatic role cycling within the Drama Triangle.

  • Recognize the Stuck Spot as a loss of spontaneity rather than symptom relief.

  • Demonstrate ethical use of experiential and psychodramatic techniques within professional scope.

Educational Goal

The educational goal of this workshop is for pariticipants to gain enhanced awareness of a relational based conceptualization of trauma as well as have enhanced clinical skills in order to address that within a systemic model.

Target Audience

  • Addiction Professional
  • Counselor
  • Marriage & Family Therapist
  • Psychologist
  • Social Worker

Kristine Jackson, LCSW, CEDS, CDWF-C, CET, CP, TEP, PCC often says “connection is the smallest definition of healing,” and those in her presence feel that connection. She earned her Master of Social Work, magna cum laude, from the University of Pennsylvania with a Family Specialization and the first decade of her career she furthered her credentialing at UCLA in in co-occurring illnesses, got certified in sand tray therapy and then designed and directed a non‑profit school for children with severe emotional disturbances (SED) emphasizing family involvement. Over the next two decades she served as the clinical director of several programs in California while continuing to specialize in addiction, trauma, and experiential healing—most recently working with Onsite (https://experienceonsite.com/). Recently, she founded Unfiltered Grace to expand healing into supporting clinicians and caregivers, and she trains and teaches therapists worldwide, including an annual training trip to India. Kristine holds the highest credentialing in Psychodrama (TEP: Trainer, Educator, Practitioner), enabling her to teach the modality globally. She teaches for the International NLP Center, supervises practitioners, travels for corporate trainings and runs therapeutic intensives. She has been featured on podcasts and video interviews (examples: https://experienceonsite.com/podcast/episode-014-living-centered-and-rediscovering-you-featuring-kristine-jackson/ and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQmcyaleqKM). Kristine is the author of BE YOU (https://www.amazon.com/BE-YOU-Using-Pinball-Wonder/dp/B0D599NW8F). When not traveling, she prefers to be near her husband and dog—ideally with sandy toes in the ocean. More about her can be found at https://www.kristinejackson.com/.
