The style of therapy that Lynton Friedman used in Relationship Counselling was an approach of effective listening and being an impartial mediator to the situations being presented in the sessions.  One of the key success strategies was to have the two parties make direct eye contact with one another and talk to each other while observations were made with the intention of bridging the gaps of the issues that were presented.  Another variable that was brought clearly into awareness was the concept of invaders within relationships.  These concepts can be discussed more in detail within sessions at the Centre.

"Couples Counselling at Sanlyn Wellness is slightly different from individual counselling as the empathic approach is too soft. More directive therapy is essential for the success of keeping the relationship together. All avenues are explored to see if there are solutions to bring resolution or a spark back into the relationship or marriage. The success rate of being able to keep the relationship moving forward in a healthy manner has been high. "

One example of a success story was Lyntons first ever Couples Counselling session at the early stages of his therapeutic career. Due to confidentiality, the story and details will be so sparse so as to keep the identities from being discovered.  To sum the relationship in one sentence, the wife was at her wits end with her husband and was ready to walk out of the relationship.  As this was at the beginning of my practice, I was in my late 20’s and the clients were almost double my age.  I clearly remember the husband saying to me in a stern voice, “How are you going to help us, you have no life experience and are so younger than we have been married”.  I composed myself and responded with “All I ask of you is to sit in here for one session, if I am not what you are looking for, feel free to seek out another counsellor”.  I am excited to say that working together  with both of them and then individually for a short time, that that couple is still together and in a healthier relationship than they had ever been.

Communication and the language of love are vital for Couples Counselling.  From past experiences with this type of therapy, knowing what your partner is looking for in the form of love is so important for growth.  Another success that has been effective in allowing couples to reconcile is the concepts of Independence and Interdependence in the relationship.

If any of these above statements resonate to you, there is a strong possibility your Throat Chakra is blocked or stuck energetically. A chakra definition is provided below:

Chakra in Ancient Sanskrit translates to circle or wheel. Chakra Balancing is part of the Integrated Energy Healing body. This spectrum encompasses New Age Therapy and focuses on how the auric and spiritual bodies express repressed emotions. Auric and Spiritual bodies are energies that we all transmit throughout different frequencies. Depending on your mental, physical, emotional and spiritual state, there can be blockages in the overall flow of the aforementioned states. This can result in an imbalance in your overall well-being.

The throat chakra is represented by a pale blue colour and focuses on communication and creativity. Often times when clients come to Sanlyn for Hypnosis or Psychotherapy to do with procrastination, job dissatisfaction and relationship issues, there is a strong correlation to communication and creativity issues and it is here where Lynton Friedman educated clients on Chakra Balancing.

"This chakra deals with emotional issues related to how one feels they can express themselves and how much they portray themselves being invisible in life. It also takes into account whether a person is holding themselves back from success by stifling their creative side."

Once the communication and creativity are unleashed using intuitively guided Energy Healing mixed with Body Psychotherapy and Spiritual Healing, the effects and changes are seen to jump immensely and the client over a short period of time opens new doorways and paths to an improved self. Some techniques that compliment the energy healing after doing a Throat Chakra balancing is to get the client to open their awareness by doing actions for themselves.

Affirmations are a huge and instrumental part of communication because it increases the self esteem/self worth of an individual and allows that person to feel more competent and good about themselves alongside actually using vocal expression in a positive manner. Secondly, getting a client to write, draw or paint is a great vessel to opening them up. It really does not matter whether a masterpiece or a stick figure is created, it is the act of following through with the action that makes the energy of the newly opened throat channel clearer and focused for growth and movement forward.

If you are curious about the process above, call or email Sanlyn Wellness and we will be glad to help you communicate and create more effectively.
