One of the biggest factors for the success and reduction of symptoms is that the person feels comfortable and is given the choice as to which type of therapy would be best suited to them. Lynton is effective in the initial session at educating and explaining all the different techniques and tools available for the Anxiety & Depression healing process.  This gives a client-centred approach and usually allows the person sitting in the office to get a sense of control about how they are feeling.

"As this topic is broad in spectrum, it has been seen many times in sessions when clients are exhibiting anxious or depressive feelings, they think in their mind they are going to die. If one was to associate the anxiety of the death process, there would be a cessation of breathing. In order to calm clients down, breathing techniques are taught which in turn creates a form of positive control and allows the individual at the time to realize they are still alive."

Various ways of Hypnotherapy have also been highly effective in creating success in client recoveries.  Scripting Hypnosis is a process where the therapist reads out scripts that deal with specific issues being presented.  This form of therapy is pivotal in creating a space where the client can calm the conscious mind down, open the subconscious, take in the suggestions that can switch the negative Anxiety or Depressive thinking process into a positive one.  It is here that the clients have learned what is called anchoring techniques.  This has been a way to teach the clients a certain move or a position that can be used outside of the Centre when they have a process of feeling anxious in their life.  The success of this technique is that it has effectively triggered clients back to feelings of calmness that they experienced in the Hypnosis chair during their sessions.

The second type of Hypnosis used to calm clients down requires a combination of Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy.  This uses more regressive techniques which takes the client back to the first time they experienced these symptoms and feelings.  Once it is discovered what the trigger is, then there is a process called reframing which changes the event in the repressed emotion and helps to heal the event that has been causing distress in the present time to the clients that was seeking the help.  This process can take a bit of time, however once found it is usually a great help to bringing balance back in the clients perspective.

Energy based therapies such as Chakra Balancing are also excellent in reducing panic, anxiety and depressive feelings.  The body is a store house of Anxiety triggers which also energetically repress emotions into physiological symptoms that can manifest as Psychosomatic experiences.  Breathing techniques, coupled with Body Psychotherapy/Somatic Therapy  are a great way to allow the body to bring itself back into equilibrium and therefore let go of the stored up emotional baggage that is bringing about the unbalanced feelings.

"Observation of clients over a number of years who have been suffering from this type of Anxiety shows that this fear and worry is rooted in wounds of childhood which is brought out through Inner Child dialoguing and Meditative style Hypnosis techniques. The effects of the stress it places on the mind, body and spirit is much like the stone that is thrown into a river."

As the stone hits the water, you see a rippling effect of rings that spread out. The ripple causes irrational thinking and many clients sessions are consumed with the idea that if this is not taken care of immediately their lives are over and catastrophic effects are going to happen. The obsessive thoughts of not being good enough create the feeling of being frozen and stuck in the mud syndrome and worst case scenarios are played over and over like a broken record player.

The key to helping and guiding the individuals in this situation is to get them to see that it is something that is easily fixable with a bit of investigation and empathic counseling. The individuals are taught that it is not an immediate one session quick fix and a few sessions will be required in order to take a step by step approach of bringing the irrational thinking within a framework of talk therapy and effective coping techniques. The first step is to get the individuals to discuss the issue or issues in depth, look for key factors, words and actions that give clues to the trigger points of the excessive worry. The second step is then to do calming techniques which will allow the individual to feel more in positive control of their thoughts and lastly the final step/technique is to get the client in a deeper relaxed state, which then allows a dialogue with their wounded child to take place to find out why they are feeling scared, worried and alone.

Some of the most used phrases by clients at Sanlyn Wellness Centre include: “I am so stressed out”, “Stress is making me lose control”, “I am anxious from stress”, “There is not enough time in the day and it’s stressing me out” and “Stress is killing me”. I’m sure many of you can relate to at least one of those statements.

"The key to working with stress reduction techniques is to become aware that instead of being in a 24 hour cycle of despair, there are simple, fast and effective exercises to create a positive spin on the whirlwind in as little as two minutes."

Stress creates an ever-increasing cycle of negative thought processing that ultimately leads to pessimism. The key to working with stress reduction techniques is to become aware that instead of being in a 24 hour cycle of despair, there are simple, fast and effective exercises to create a positive spin on the whirlwind in as little as two minutes. It is clear that if stress reduction techniques are not implemented into one’s daily routine, the mind, body and spirit will be out of equilibrium.

The most compelling stress reduction technique is to use breath. This process involves you taking charge of yourself. Stress causes us to feel that we are out of control. Breath is the vessel of life, and without breathing we would suffocate. Take two minutes when you feel that initial feeling of being overpowered and do 20 slow repetitive breaths in and out, exhaling gently and focusing on how your body is responding. This stress reduction technique ultimately allows you to break the constant mind chatter that is critical and negative in nature. This can be done up to 10 times a day. The benefits of taking 20 minutes out of a 24-hour day is immense and does not even take up one per cent of your time. The stress reduction technique will help to improve your clarity and allow better time management skills, reducing the levels of stress resilience.

The second highly effective stress reduction technique is to envision your mind as a beanbag, with the beans representing the thousands of thoughts that run through your brain. If the beanbag was being shaken and the beans were colliding, it would cause chaos. The main focus of this stress reduction technique is to create a solution by envisioning that you have a pair of scissors with which to cut open the material of the beanbag, releasing a bunch of beans and in the process relieving a huge amount of tension stored in your overall being.

The above examples are two of a number of different stress reduction techniques that are implored at Sanlyn Wellness. The Centre has been highly successful in helping clients reduce stress, decrease anxiety and create a feeling of balance, growth and advancement.
