Dr. Stephen Royal Jackson has been
a stress specialist since 1980 when
he completed his dissertation on
stress and received his doctorate in
clinical and child psychology from
the University of Virginia.
Late in 1995, Dr. Jackson had a
life-changing spiritual experience
which led him to leave the clinical
practice of psychology a year later.
In 1998, he founded SET (Stress
Effectiveness Training) for Life
Seminars. It was then he began to
see how his shadow had been in the
lead in the emotional form of a
hero-rescuer-savior pattern and in
the physical form of advanced
glaucoma. He began to see how both
were rooted in the post-traumatic
stress of events in his early
childhood and he shares aspects of
his healing journey in all of his
books.
Through his writing and seminars,
Dr. Jackson is dedicated to helping
people all over the world eliminate
the needless suffering and senseless
evil caused by ineffective ways of
handling stress and conflict.
To this end, Dr. Jackson lectures
and conducts seminars, and he has
often appeared on national
television and radio. Since 1995, he
has been using a
Christian inspired and guided
by the Holy Spirit form of the
deeply relaxing ancient healing art
of Reiki. With the healing power of
the Holy Spirit working through him,
he has helped many people here and
abroad find relief from stress and
stress-related pain and disease. He
has authored nine books that help us
be more effective in the face of
stress. All the books draw on
insights found in psychology, and
spirituality including the profound
insights of enlightened teachers on
consciousness.
In March of 2012, Dr. Stephen
Jackson was inducted into the
Delaware Basketball Hall of Fame.
It's a miracle to even have been
able to play basketball after having
polio at the age of seven. But he
did, even receiving an offer to play
in the NBA. Instead, he pursued his
doctoral studies in Clinical and
Child Psychology.
