Healing The Enslaved Mind©

This presentation was originally commissioned and written especially to honour black history as part of a Black History Month celebratory event.

“Healing the Enslaved Mind” centres on the psychological and emotional link of slavery throughout the last 600 years to today’s contemporary Afro-Caribbean race to give enlightenment on healing the wounded enslaved mind. There is a large body of data that highlights a high incidence of mental illness amongst this population; this workshop focuses on building esteem, confidence and a strong sense of identity that may be considered damaged due to the generational effects of what Dr DeGruy termed as PTSS... Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome!

“Brilliant presentation by Helen… so inspirational and educational… an exceptionally good motivational talk” - S. Robertson; Hexagon Black History Celebration of Health, Healing & Happiness

Managing Anger

We get angry for various reasons related to events, experiences, thoughts, feelings, attitudes and behaviours. The question is: “Why do we get angry in the first place?” Well, the simple answer is... because we are human. Anger is a normal, human emotion. However, it is the response to our anger that often gets us into trouble, when it is irrational, inappropriate and unjustified. In this nine-hour training programme,  run over 3-4 sessions, you will explore and understand the root and the triggers to your anger... discover the relationship between brain chemistry and the emotional response... and develop techniques to assist in managing and maintaining healthier responses to anger.

“Helen was highly competent in balancing the needs of the individuals with the need to cover the topics and progress clients’ understanding and learning.” - P. Reynolds; PT Manager, DARA
