Therapeutic Tool: InnerLenz
The human brain uses images to process information, sidestepping the cognitive reasoning centers and jumping right to the visual cortex. Washington volunteer Bill Stoner, MA, LMHC has created a visual tool called InnerLenz that creates synergistic maps that can be utilized to help an individual gain insight into their behavioral patterns If you would like to learn more to see if would apply to your practice, visit the InnerLenz website. A Headache Suffer
My doctor who prescribed physical therapy for chronic headaches. The physical therapist was convinced that the muscle tension in my neck was getting better, but…

I insisted that the headaches persisted in spite of the treatment. The therapist asked whether I could imagine my life without chronic headaches. I said no and walked out of the office. When I got home I was angry at what the therapist had said. After a while, I thought about the InnerLenz workbook and the exercise I did where I examined my inner circle of friends. Maybe my chronic headaches were part of my inner circle. If so, maybe I could move the headaches out of my inner circle. After taking the time to make several sketches and to work with the imagery, I successfully “moved” the headaches out of my inner circle. With ongoing practice, I noticed that my “headache friends” only come back to visit on occasion. |
Journaling: A Routine for Self Reflection
For those in recovery journaling may be a common practice. It is the process of recording your thoughts on a regular basis.
A Counseling Client
InnerLenz journaling inspired me to create a series of collages exploring my personal affirmations and the elements of my life that are most important to me.

The symbol of the labyrinth became the background and texture ready to receive the images I created to represent these elements. I was aware of balance and proximity to the heart of my collage while positioning the symbols on the labyrinth. I rested with the questions of what brings me closer to myself, and what would a life aligned with my personal truths and desires look like. I now have something beautiful and meaningful to hang on my wall to continue to inspire and motivate me. Developing my compassion through the Innerlenz process allowed information to surface that was just below my awareness. I even gained insights into my partner’s way of being in the world. This deeper appreciation of him helped me to critically examine and then ultimately accept more fully our differences without disregarding my own wants and needs for of our relationship. Innerlenz also lead me to discover a key frustration or block that I experience in my life. With this new information, I can now begin to heal and reconcile that part of myself. I know the block will ultimately transform into a stepping-stone toward my greater purpose. |
