If you could Really change the course of your Life would you want to know? What if to change that direction meant having to unravel everything, we Thought we knew about the Mind, and thus fragmenting our Identity? Would we want to hold on to the comforts of what we Think we are, or would we be brave enough to take a leap of faith into the possibilities of the unknown? This will be difficult to believe, but we are NOT our Minds, which themselves are Meta Bio Technological Frameworks which control Imagination through wormholes in the 4th Dimension. We are TIME, but not time as we believe it to be, and all of us have been, and still are sitting within the most complex and sophisticated simulators that can create any reality within 3-Dimensional space. If you require a simple example of this, follow the link to the “Expectations of THINKING” We have temporarily lost the manual to the instrumentation of our Minds, and these are instructions to its functionalities that we won’t find externally. It is an unspoken language of knowledge, and it is compressed within the Framework of our bodies, and the most effective means to access these archives of data is by expanding the eloquence and elegance of Emotional expression. Our bodies are archives of knowledge, but we must learn how to extract the layers of Consciousness that as Time, precede us going as far back an existence before Humanity. Our Minds need these blueprints of data before they can start ReMapping our future, but our Beliefs are transparent shackles that ground the Mind, preventing the natural elevation of Time to higher states where we would see all at once, the culmination of our Lives as a play of colours, scattered across Consciousness, as a Past, a Present, and possible Futures. Our Operating Frequencies are so low that we barely Think above 2 Dimensions, using whatever Limiting Beliefs to create conclusions to 3 Dimensional realities that are not there, which Imagination convincingly simulates as illusions. Did you see the colourful Cubes? If your answer was yes, then you have just proven that your Imagination indeed, creates realities that are not there, which in this instance, demonstrates that most of our Thoughts are 2 DIMENSIONAL. We are all 4th Dimensional beings, but the expectation of how we Think, if at all, are illusions that lessen our opportunities for change, all Thoughts of which are beliefs that weigh down the Mind to representations of a Subconscious. The Subconscious can be anything where we give over our rights to something that controls our fate because they obscure our Minds, but these obscurities are actually Time as repetitions of Thought, instead of that Time being used toward Creative Thinking, and not what Imagination illustrates as these influential objects. How many examples like this, can we Think of where we consciously give away our Minds, where indeed these external factors that up until this time, have been mapping us to fulfil their own directives?

The aim of this live online training with Emily Gajewski, a highly experienced psychotherapist specialising in treating self-harm, is to give you a thorough, in-depth understanding of why young people self-harm and how to approach/react when helping someone in both the short and long term, including the essential skills most likely to effectively support the young person on their journey to find less harmful ways of coping – the webinar focuses on the most evidence-based knowledge and skills in this area. It will also help you find ways of calming yourself in moments of overwhelm to ensure that you can be as supportive and helpful as you’d like to be. Why you should attend With the ever changing, uncertain world we live in creating a vast amount of pressure on children – emotionally and physically – more children and teenagers are experiencing extremely stressful, distressing situations, with many looking for coping mechanisms to help them deal with their negative thoughts, feelings and emotions. Self harm (including self injury) is hugely on the increase and rates are higher than ever since Covid-19 and the long periods of isolation and uncertainty young people have experienced in ‘lock downs’. A survey of 61 secondary school children by charity Place2Be, shows self-harm reports increased by 77%, from 48 to 85, from August to September 2021. Finding the right words to approach self-harming can be difficult – this online webinar was created to help you (parents, carers, teachers) approach this topic with empathy and confidence. Discovering that a young person you are caring for is self harming can be an extremely stressful situation. When we are highly emotional, it can cause us to react in desperate ways, which are often not helpful or supportive to the young person, even if our intentions are totally well-meaning. “A really helpful, caring approach – it has clarified so much for me and I can now see a sensible way forward.”MARTIN, PARENT. This course is relevant to a range of self-harming behaviours including: self-injury cutting, ripping or carving skin burning skin punching or hitting themselves scratching or pinching (including dermatillomania) poisoning themselves with tablets or liquids (or similar) over-eating and under-eating (anorexia or bulimia) biting yourself (dermatophagia) inserting objects into your body overdosing, exercising excessively pulling your hair (trichotillomania) getting into fights where you know you will get hurt What you will learn What is self-harm? Why young people self-harm How common is self-harming How to approach the subject (building rapport, trust…) How to react if your child (or any young person) tells you they are self harming (what not to say and do) The distinction between self harm and a suicide attempt The addictive element to self harm How to help a young person break the addictive pattern Helping a child in the short- and long term The influence of social media and peers Keeping your child safe Looking after yourself (managing stress, anxiety and worry for the household) Finding professional help View booking details Who this training is suitable for Parents, other family members and/or carers of children and young people who are at risk of self harming or currently self harming. Anyone who works with young people and needs to know how best to help when someone discloses that they self-harm or who they suspect may be self-harming. Therapists and counsellors who want to gain a better understanding so they can support families with a member who self harms.
