I always learn something new from Helen and have taken away fantastic practical examples to use when I need help to support my child. Everybody’s story although different never fails to give me a light bulb moment. Thank you, you help keep me grounded!

Every story of parental narcissistic abuse is different but the core themes are exactly the same in all and that’s what makes listening to these conversations so full of light bulb moments. Helen is world class in her ability to lead a person out of the ‘cult like’ state of captivity that narcissistic abuse puts a person in and setting them firmly on the path to freedom.
