How does LENS
help? 

The LENS addresses underlying problems. Often we tend to think in terms of diagnoses when we ask "Is the LENS an appropriate treatment approach?" Instead, it is more appropriate to ask about the underlying functions blocked in any particular diagnosis to arrive at an answer. The LENS addresses underlying problems and does not address diagnoses. Below is a list of Areas of Applicability with which the LENS which the LENS may be helpful.

My 8th grade year was very difficult. I had a lot of social anxiety and stomach pain. When the last day of school came I felt depressed, lonely, and suicidal. I spent the summer before I began high school doing LENS therapy. I began to reconcile friendships that had become awkward during my 8th grade year and started my freshman year feeling less anxious and able to make connections with friends. I enjoyed football games and homecoming feeling less stress and less social anxiety I had felt so strongly the year before. I highly recommend LENS therapy for those that are struggling to connect socially and experiencing anxiety and depression.
