Beyond Diagnosis - The Masterclass
Since writing the book I have found more stories of hope, read more research and I have so much to tell you that I couldn't fit in the book.
This course will be a unique look at each of the 10 categories featured in Beyond Diagnosis. Each week we will take an in-depth look at each section. We will discuss relevant research, what is lacking in traditional therapies, and how the personal recoveries in the book actually came about.
I will be pointing to the fact that we all have innate wellbeing underneath each and every one of these diagnoses. We will have some guest speakers from the book, I will share my latest insights and there will be plenty of time to ask questions and get more support.
This will be a 12-week Masterclass meeting once a week on Zoom on Tuesdays
Starting Tuesday, July 16th
LA 9:30am / NY 12:30pm / London 5:30pm / Isreal 7:30pm
Sessions are 90mins and will be recorded
There will be a private Facebook Group for more support and all sessions will be recorded so you won't miss a thing.
We will start by diving into the main message of the book -
"There need only be one generic mental illness,
a misunderstanding
of the role of thought"
- Sydney Banks
What is trauma?
We are all feeling our own thinking so no two people are ever experiencing the same thing.
We can never be broken no matter what we have been through

"My 25 years of chronic pain and physical issues disappeared when my mind slowed down.
My body had been screaming at me to get out of my thoughts and into my life."
"We are always feeling our thinking".
What if you understood that your moods are actually a signal letting you know which direction you are headed, you would see there are many more options!
What if you learned you don't have to be afraid of anxious thoughts and showed up anyway?
Your world would change!
This is freedom!
So many children are being medicated for what is really a misunderstanding of how a
child's mind works.
Kids are resilient and brilliant!
Self-harm, narcissism, and extreme risk-taking are all signs of a fearful, insecure state of mind, not an illness. Learn how these old beliefs can change into amazing new lives.
"We are all one thought away from good mental health."
We may have different symptoms but the answer is the same.
Join us as we celebrate our innate wellbeing, courage and resilience.
Who is this Masterclass course for?
I have made this course for people suffering with mental health challenges, and the people taking care of them.
Struggling to find help in the health system, and spending money on therapists and treatments only to feel worse is sadly a common story. Everyone has stressful thoughts but being told you are mentally ill and will need treatment for the rest of your life is hard to bear. If you are still not sure, take a look or listen to some of the stories of hope on the next page ....
Understanding that we are suffering innocently and that we all have innate wellbeing no matter what we have been through or what we have been told opens the door to freedom. You have all the resilience and courage you need to live your best life. Let me point you in the right direction!
This course is perfect for coaches who want a better understanding of diagnoses in order to help their clients more. Your clients may have mental health issues that you are not familiar with or seem overwhelming so getting a better understanding of how the mind works in all these different situations will be invaluable. "Many symptoms, one solution".
Therapists, psychologists, and doctors who are open to learning more about how the mind works are very welcome to join. Some of these fresh new ideas may be challenging to the established way psychology is taught but as dedicated professionals, I know you will gain some great insights. Fresh new ideas can only bring more relief as you point your clients in the direction of their innate mental health.
