Over the past years, George Lindall has been offering innovative therapy services in the Minneapolis area. George's mission is to help people find happiness and healing through relationships, parenting, and discovering their life's passion. He offers an alternative for individuals who have tried other options and found them wanting. His approach is shaped by a belief that the potential for happiness lies in our deep, personal relationships, and that healing can be found through strengthening these relationships. George's approach helps people get in touch with their emotions and forge new habits of thinking. George specializes in working with individuals and couples on issues related to marriage and divorce, anxiety, depression and addiction.

Many aspects of our culture are based on rational, or left-brain thinking. People want to see something before they'll believe it. Schools focus on grades and achievement tests. Success means wealth, status and outward appearances. We are taught to look for rational explanations for our problems. There is nothing inherently wrong with rational thinking – but an over-emphasis on it means that emotional intelligence is undervalued, and people lose touch with their emotions. Applying methods of rational thinking to emotional issues can reinforce or exacerbate a problem. And while the culture may emphasize a certain way of thinking, many individuals naturally come from a different perspective – and thus may struggle to feel acceptance, happiness or success.

George's approach to therapy centers around finding a new way of thinking about our lives. Recent brain research shows that most people employ only about 10% of their brain. Using the same type of thinking all the time keeps us thinking the same thoughts and never making progress. Our thinking patterns determine how we see the world; if our habits are narrow and repetitive, it will be difficult to see from a new perspective. Change comes when we shift our way of thinking, away from rational methods. Right-brained methods of learning and understanding, such as the use of paradox, storytelling, metaphors and images help us to break out of unhealthy thinking patterns. Only then can we acknowledge our true emotions and get in touch our true center.

There is often no room in left-brained thinking to acknowledge the pain felt from loss, anger and shame. A shift in thinking allows individuals to acknowledge and address their feelings, reflect on their lives from a new perspective and begin to see themselves as a survivor rather than a victim. This shift leads the way to healing and growth. Growth is achieved through learning to accept yourself and your emotions, as well as strengthening relationships with others in your life. Outcomes of this growth and healing may be the discovery of your life's passion (career or personal); the strengthening of your values, beliefs or faith; and a general feeling of self-acceptance and peace.
