MHFA England Mental Health First Aid

Polarization, or the “polarized mind,” is a fixation on one view, causing widespread destructiveness. It needs presence and love to address.
We aim to explore the lived experiences on irregular perceptions of reality with an open mind. Each Saturday includes: a live dialogue between Prof. Ernesto Spinelli and an International Existential Therapist; a moment to share your thoughts and feelings with the teachers; and a final integration facilitated by Bárbara Godoy.
This series of ten dialogues set out to explore the multifaceted dimentions and complexities associated with Existential Therapies. It attempts to engage with various interpretations of insanity through the lens of patients often painful, confounding, and deeply unsettling life experiences.


Polarisation - between Prof. Ernesto Spinelli and Prof. Kirk Schneider
“I view polarization or that which I call the “polarized mind” as the fixation on a single point of view to the utter exclusion of competing points of view, and I see it as a core dimension of human destructiveness both individually and collectively. Arguably, polarization or the polarized mind is responsible for more devaluation and abuse than any other general psychological dimension, and it crosses cultures, parties, disciplines and so-called diagnosed and undiagnosed populations. In fact it is the undiagnosed populations—polarized cultural, political, and religious leaders and their followers–who have arguably caused the most human destructiveness by far, over those whom we conventionally termed the diagnosed The polarized mind may be partly dispositional but appears to be largely fear-driven and requires abiding presence and love to address it. We are in a race against time to avail people to these “nutrients.”
Prof. Kirk Schneider.


Prof. Kirk J. Schneider, Ph.D. is a leading spokesperson for contemporary existential-humanistic and existential-integrative psychology. Dr Schneider was a 2022 Candidate for President of the American Psychological Association (APA), a co-founder and current president of the Existential-Humanistic Institute (an award-winning psychotherapy training center), and a two-term Member of the Council of Representatives of the APA. He is also past president (2015-2016) of the Society for Humanistic Psychology (Division 32) of the APA, recent past editor of the Journal of Humanistic Psychology (2005-2012), a founder and frequent presenter/facilitator of the bridge-building dialogue approach the Experiential Democracy Dialogue and a trained moderator for the conflict mediation group Braver Angels. Dr Schneider is also an adjunct faculty member at Saybrook University and Teachers College, Columbia University and an Honorary Member of the Society for Existential Analysis of the UK and the East European Association for Existential Therapy. He received the Rollo May Award for “outstanding and independent contributions” to the field of humanistic psychology from the Society for Humanistic Psychology, APA and is a Fellow of seven Divisions of the APA (5, 9, 32, 42, 12, 29, and 24). His work on existential-integrative psychotherapy has been featured in a special issue of the Journal of Psychotherapy Integration (March 2016), as well as The Wiley World Handbook of Existential Therapy and the APA’s forthcoming Handbook of Psychotherapy. Dr Schneider has published over 200 articles, interviews and chapters and has authored or edited 14 books including The Paradoxical Self, Horror and the Holy, Rediscovery of Awe, Awakening to Awe, The Spirituality of Awe, The Polarized Mind, The Handbook of Humanistic Psychology, Existential-Humanistic therapy, Existential-Integrative Psychotherapy, The Wiley World Handbook of Existential Therapy, The Depolarizing of America: A Guidebook for Social Healing and his latest volume (February, 2023) Life-Enhancing Anxiety: Key to a Sane World.

Born and raised in Belgium, on a diet of frites and Tintin she moved to England in her late teens with her family, then stayed in London to do a History degree and Masters at University College London. Having been brought up bilingual, translation rights seemed like her logical next step. She started off in the rights department at Bloomsbury Publishing, before hopping across the square to Ed Victor&rsquo;s agency, and found experiencing both the publishing and agency side of publishing incredibly valuable.She has been building her own list of authors alongside selling translation rights since early 2016, which she has hugely enjoyed; working with authors right from the book&rsquo;s conception, while also experiencing the thrill of selling her own authors&rsquo; works in the UK and US as well as in translation to publishers across the globe.In terms of adult fiction, Th&eacute;r&egrave;se has a huge soft spot for historical fiction, having read Early Modern History at university, but is also very much on the hunt for crime/thrillers, bookclub, high-concept love stories and literary fiction. She loves strong female characters, in particular when they go through an evolution or journey as the story progresses and gradually find that inner strength.On the children&rsquo;s fiction front, Th&eacute;r&egrave;se is all about finding a fresh, new voice. She loves all things funny, fantasy and adventure &ndash; across lands, time and space, and involving strong friendships and strong lead characters - and wants to be transported straight away when reading a manuscript. She likes very vivid, well-crafted and imaginative worlds, such as stories set in a toy factory or in an underwater world. Th&eacute;r&egrave;se would love some more adventures set in space, mysteries, quirky characters, explorers and imaginary friends.And last, but not least, in non-fiction, history features heavily in her interests, but Th&eacute;r&egrave;se would also love to see books about big ideas, culture, sociology, science, anthropology and memoir.

LOOKING FOR: MG, YA, ADULT FICTION, NON-FICTION

Una is a Rights Agent at Susanna Lea Associates and am starting to build a client list. 

She grew up in London and graduated from the University of Cambridge with a BA in English in 2021. At university, Una was particularly interested in contemporary West African and South Asian literature. She started as an agent's assistant at SLA London in 2022 and now handles some translation rights and provides support with editorial work and submissions.

Una's favourite reads always set her at ease right away and draws her in with impressive and accessible storytelling, memorable characters or an original hook. Una enjoys writing which expands her worldview, makes her laugh out loud or keeps her on her toes with its twists and turns. She welcomes submissions from debut authors and would be keen to read across a wide range of genres and styles.

She is looking for literary, upmarket and book club fiction, and is always drawn to stories that explores the challenges and complexities of love and relationships in all its forms —within families, between friends or in romantic relationships. Una loves the way in which familial relationships are dissected in The Wren, The Wren by Anne Enright and the impact of the local community in Small Worlds by Caleb Azumah Nelson. She is always drawn to novels with a strong sense of community, whether they are unified by geography, culture, or in other unexpected ways.

Una has always loved reading international and translated fiction and welcomes submissions from authors writing contemporary fiction that engages with cultures and traditions from around the world, such as in voices of the deities in Freshwater by Akwaeke Emezi or the subversive tales of Sayaka Murata. 

She is not looking for children’s or YA titles, science fiction or high-concept fantasy, but is open to submissions from authors writing in the speculative fiction space, and books with fantastical or otherworldly elements, be that magical realism or supernatural horror, such as Mona Awad's campus novel with a twist, Bunny. Una would also love to read more writing that engages with the natural world and reminds us of the limitations of human understanding.

In non-fiction, Una enjoys books that furthers her understanding of wider societal issues — nature and the environment, culture, and little-known history. Her recent non-fiction favourites are Eve by Cat Bohannon, Doppelgänger by Naomi Klein and Unearthed by Claire Ratinon.

Una would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 page synopsis and the first three chapters or 5,000 words of your manuscript in a single word document.

(In addition to the paid sessions, Una is kindly offering one free session for low income/under-represented writers. Please email agent121@iaminprint.co.uk to apply, outlining your case for this option which is offered at the discretion of I Am In Print). 

By booking you understand you need to conduct an internet connection test with I Am In Print prior to the event. You also agree to email your material in one document to reach I Am In Print by the stated submission deadline and note that I Am In Print take no responsibility for the advice received during your agent meeting.

The submission deadline is: Monday 7th April 2025

<h2>Description</h2>Mind Mapping DiplomaA mind map is a diagram or graphic representation visualizing connections between various ideas, concepts or pieces of information. A mind map uses a non-linear graphical layout to represent various tasks, items or concepts which is connected and arranged around a central subject or concept. Mind mapping unlocks the full potential of the brain by employing word, image, number, logic, rhythm, color and spatial awareness to create a powerful graphic technique that will enhance learning and promote clearer thinking.Although the term mind mapping is familiar to many, the technique hasn't been fully utilized by people. Mind mapping has been proven to offer great help in various aspects of our life especially while making notes and representing a complex piece of information. Mind mapping is essential while making notes from a book, taking notes during meetings and preparing for talks and lectures. All this can be created just using pen and paper. Mind mapping software are also available to generate maps but without basic understanding of how mind mapping works, it isn't easy to use the software.Mind Mapping Diploma introduces mind mapping as a visualization technique that can be deployed effectively in various spheres of our lives whether it is work or personal. The benefits of visualization techniques over textual representation techniques are clearly summarized in Mind Mapping Diploma.Mind Mapping Diploma reveals why mind mapping works and how it is a brain-friendly technique that allows quick assimilation, effective retention and recalling of information. The process of creating a mind map is discussed step-by-step and in detail in Mind Mapping Diploma. The course of Mind Mapping Diploma also makes a plausible comparison between mind mapping using the traditional pen and paper technique and using a computer software.Along with the art of generating a mind map, Mind Mapping Diploma also throws light into different elements of this outstanding graphic technique and how to put them into effective use. Mind Mapping Diploma does not confine the technique of mind mapping with strict rules and compulsory instructions to follow, it lets you experiment and develop your own individual style of mind mapping.Mind Mapping Diploma covers using mind mapping technique for the most common and frequent needs like note-making for lectures and talks and note-making from talks and meetings. The scope of Mind Mapping technique also includes learning and preparing for examinations through mind mapping.Anyone who completes Mind Mapping Diploma will not only be able to generate effective personalized mind maps but also be able to read textual information through the lens of mind mapping so that it can be easily converted to a mind map within a very short period of time.Mind Mapping Diploma is a course designed for everyone who finds that there is need to better organize the information in and around them to utilize it in the most effective manner possible.

The 30-day challenge is not easy, simply because your brain has been dulled down over years of exposure to conditioning and toxic stress. Consequently, your mind is actively working against you to secure you and limit you. This program will tell you the basic 30 key secrets to reverse the problem, if that is you can accept you have one (POSITION ONE) … we all do.
Important Course Instructions
Do not rush through the videos in a few hours, this is not a race. In mental acceleration the purpose is not the acquisition of knowledge for its own sake or entertainment, for most of what you are exposed to in life is deleted by the mind to optimise its processes within the current bandwidth of your thinking. The goal in mental acceleration is to change the structure of your brain, the neuroplasticity, so ever more powerful mental programs can run enabling critical thought, creative problem solving, empathetic understanding, co creation and agile thinking. This is accomplished through a range of techniques, under the headings of Quantum Psychology and Consciousness Change Therapy.
Replay the short 5 minute videos a number of times across the day. Your brain will only register a small amount of the content each time, yet the purpose is to actualise new thoughts and ideas. The videos are thus catalysts to mental growth, to give you challenges to your thinking to expand the band width. It’s not about retention of information, this will come with increased band width.
Each day write a blog post on your reflections on the subject at hand. Create an online private blog, and journal your journey. Write about how the subjects impact on your thinking, what thoughts come to mind; explore your capacity to build on the subject through a few considered paragraphs. There are sample blog posts for you to see what others have written before you to give you a window into other peoples thoughts.
Discuss the daily subject with as many people as possible as part of your daily conversations. Opening the mind to interactions on the subjects will allow you to begin to calibrate consciousness in others and yourself. We grow mentally through our social interactions, the higher the quality in terms of questioning in open discussion why you think the way you do, why you believe in what you do and why you value what you do, the more your mental acceleration.
Put aside doubt, delay, denial and distraction — stay the course. You are learning the programming language of mind, moving from a mindset of limitation to a mind space where thought can expand exponentially. Your focus and dedication to the task of upgrading your mind will instruct your unconscious. There is no hiding or cheating your mind from your thoughts and actions. Your intention is clear to your unconscious, and it will manifest exactly what you think. An untrained mind, has no meaning, purpose or destiny beyond conforming to its inauthentic adopted social identity.
