So one of the key strategies that Sanlyn Wellness has used to create the art of letting go has been to find these little individuals, create a dialogue of communication and begin to create a level of trust using Hypnotherapy, Psychotherapy and Chakra Therapy. Often times these energies have been scared, angry, lost, bratty and even invisible. These children may resist the attempts to connect because they has been disconnected for so long and are in a place of being survivalist and alone in this world. The key word to emphasize here is an unconscious pattern of DOUBT that had been created by these little selves to survive the turmoil of emotions they experienced in the early development of their existence. RESISTANCE and overwhelming feeling of DOUBT have become entwined in the protective layering of these children to the detriment of progression in the bigger adult part of the individuals.

"It has been this method of little by little that has seemed to be the most effective manner of allowing these children to come out of hiding and grab the adult hands as they break the defensive barrier down."

Sanlyn Wellness has focused on the one step at a time approach to breaking down these defences. From clients experiences and the feelings of being stuck in the mud syndrome that has been observed over the years, little pieces of the wall are tackled one at a time and various different tools are experimented with to see how much of these fears can be broken down. It has been this method of little by little that has seemed to be the most effective manner of allowing these children to come out of hiding and grab the adult hands as they break the defensive barrier down. When the connection of the little hands and the big hands are made, there is a fusion of the conscious and unconscious hurts. This creates a domino effect of trust and feeling safe enough to take risks knowing that the big part is guiding the way.  More and more pieces of the walls fall away and these doubts become weaker and weaker, much like a villain losing his powers when he is defeated by the superhero in a movie or a novel.

Once this has been achieved the letting go has begun. From this energetic release of hurt and toxic feelings, comes a space of being able to open up ones awareness to new possibilities and a higher potential for self-actualization. The universe and its language then begins to work with the bigger and little parts to guide you to a place of peace, happiness, joy and fulfillment.

By changing the mindset and the way the clients see themselves is fundamental to a new belief system within the core of their being.  Lynton Friedman of  Sanlyn Wellness has used a mind, body and spiritual approach to his therapy success with clients.  Spiritually the concept of manifestation and affirmations has been applied to allow the clients to learn a new way of approaching how energetically through thought, there is vibration.  From this approach, what is in tented into the universe is picked up and put back into their energetic space.  Different techniques such as once a day affirmations are taught to clients.  This approach with guidance of past client improvements helps Lynton choose for the clients the appropriate time and place during the day to allow the positive reinforcement flow of letting go affirmations work into the awareness of their psyche, which in turn gets channeled into the universal consciousness and changes iceberg core beliefs.

Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy are intertwined together when dealing with the self esteem arena.  From past client experiences with different ethnic backgrounds and age groups, there has been found to be a correlation that most of the issues of self esteem, self confidence, self worth and self efficacy came into awareness at an early age.  Using Psychotherapy, various talking techniques are used to assess where the clients level of esteem, confidence and worth are.  This is usually addressed with a series of questions and mini exercises in the Centre during the sessions.  Education of all the branches is also given in order for the client to understand whether their perception and cognition of a certain area is distorted.

Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool when dealing with self esteem.  Hypnosis shuts down most of the critical conscious thinking and the constant anxiety forming mind banter that as individuals we tend to have on a daily basis.  Sanlyn Wellness has many different scripts to change beliefs and create a higher degree of positive reinforcement.  Scripts that have been used in the past dealt with issues related to blushing, performance anxiety, promiscuity and feelings of neediness within relationships to name a few.  Each client that Lynton Friedman has seen over the many years in practice is individual and unique.  Although correlations form, the job of the Sanlyn Wellness practitioner has been to come up with specific scripts that are catered to each client’s needs within those sessions.

"Many of the issues started in childhood, therefore the concept of Inner Child work within the Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy modules to change beliefs have effectively been used with strong success rates. These forms of therapy have been about connecting to this energy and making friends with it in order to build trust and faith again. All these techniques when collectively used have been beneficial in seeing many changes in our clients over the years."

To put this into perspective, let us use an example of a client that came in to the Centre a few years ago.  To keep with confidentiality, the gender and age has been left out and details are minimal.  The client had issues with self esteem in social settings and relationships.  After much inquiry and deep unfolding of the issues using talk therapy, Hypnosis was used with positive effects.  A combination of ego strengthening techniques were imprinted into the subconscious and the inner child was taught to trust again with positive results.  The client got into a relationship and is much better in social settings.

If you are looking to increase your self esteem, self worth, self confidence or self efficacy, give Sanlyn Wellness a call today.

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.

Psychotherapy encompasses the concept of the onion and peeling away the layers of emotions and defenses, while Hypnotherapy uses the concept of the subconscious to change patterns of behaviour and ingrained belief systems. Chakra Balancing helps the client connect more with their energetic being and in essence their deeper feelings that are stored within their body.

"This process of integrating and creating a communication channel between the adult self (client) and the Child Within (energetic child wound) is difficult and challenging work, however the rewards of personifying and creating a voice dialogue of feelings, emotions and various thoughts is definitely worth the weight in gold."

The Onion Theory incorporates all of the above techniques. The end result is getting the client to a place where they feel confident, secure, in positive control, increased self esteem and living an authentic existence free of false selves that were created to protect the child from hurtful wounds.

Childhood traumas and other painful events of development are some areas that Sanlyn focuses on when dealing with the Child Within. Stored somewhere in the physical body, there is an energy that has gone into hiding in order to feel safe from harm, this is the Child Within who may be scared, upset, bratty or abandoned etc…

Trust building is massive between the adult client and Lynton in order to allow this child-like energy to come out and let the adult part of them know why they are hurting so badly. The first part of finding the Child Within is to isolate through feelings where in their body this energy is stored and then define what that energy feels and looks like to them. The next step is getting the child to verbalize how they are feeling to their adult self. This process of integrating and creating a communication channel between the adult self (client) and the Child Within (energetic child wound) is difficult and challenging work, however the rewards of personifying and creating a voice dialogue of feelings, emotions and various thoughts is definitely worth the weight in gold.

This article is a short synopsis of the process and the therapeutic process in the centre is more focused and structured to each individual person that comes in for sessions. If you are wondering how come you are blocked, angry, afraid, shy, out of touch with your feelings etc, then Sanlyn Wellness and Lynton Friedman can help you discover that playful, magical, intuitive and creative child that is you and your authentic core.

 Many people think that…

1. Therapy is for people who are suffering from a mental illness, are strange or going crazy.

This is the furthest from the truth. Therapy is a process whereby you engage with a non-bias counselor who is not part of your daily life, who guides you to see that your situations are not as dire as you once thought. The therapist uses compassion, empathy and thus allows you to realize that you are not alone, crazy or weird. Most people who seek out counseling at Sanlyn Wellness are not weak and work hard to get results of increased self growth, improved coping mechanisms and most importantly clarification of situations as though it is being looked at through a clear glass window.

2. Therapy is too expensive and money could be used elsewhere.

Sanlyn Wellness realizes that out of pocket therapy can become expensive over an extended period. The goal of counseling at the Centre is not to make clients dependent on therapy sessions, however teach coping techniques and thus be able to effectively use them once you are feeling empowered and back in control.

When making a decision to seek a therapeutic relationship, factor in the R.O.I. (rate of return on your investment). For example if you do 16 sessions over a 4 month period, your investment is around $1750.00. This can turn out to be alot cheaper than losing your job because of a debilitating emotional paralysis or an expensive divorce because your partner is about to walk out on you due to communication shutdown. Some extended health plans also cover some services at Sanlyn as an adjunct to your investment.

3. Therapy is going to get me dependent on medications.

Sanlyn Wellness does not work with medications, however we have a responsibility to suggest or refer other medical practitioners if the scope is beyond our expertise. Years of counseling experience has shown that talk therapy is an effective mode of allowing clients to feel balance, growth and advancement. Sometimes the best medicine is laughter.

4. Therapy has not worked in the past.

The best way to describe looking for a good therapeutic counselor is to correlate the process to buying a new car. You are not going to buy a car from the dealership without testing it to see that it is comfortable for you. If therapy has not worked for you in the past, either you were not ready for it or the fit and therapeutic style was wrong for you. Sanlyn Wellness has a compassionate approach to make clients feel safe, non judged and secure. We believe that the investment of 1 session is all that it takes to see if our counseling is for you.
