Stress Isn’t Just “Too Much on Your Plate”

Two people can face the same job, the same bills and the same family. One handles it; the other feels crushed. The difference is rarely the workload. It is what the pressure is landing on: old hurts, fears and patterns that have been building for years.

That is why a vacation, a long weekend or a breathing app helps for a few days, and then the stress is right back. Those treat the symptom. We go after the source.

“When a reaction does not fit the situation, it’s not about the situation. It’s about the emotional accumulation in a person’s lifetime.”
— Rick Saruna

Rick Saruna, Clinical Director, has over 30 years of experience and more than 36,000 clinical sessions helping clients identify and resolve the root causes of anxiety and stress.

Not One-Size-Fits-All

Some need counselling.
Some need coaching.
Some need direction.
Some need a strategy.
Most need a combination.
We offer you experience, clarity, and a structured path forward — based on what actually works for YOU.

When the Reaction Doesn’t Fit the Situation.
It’s Not About the Situation

If your reaction feels too strong, too emotional, or doesn’t make sense, it’s not about what’s happening now. It’s about what’s been stored.

All emotional issues follow the same pattern:
Something happened — or didn’t happen.

You kept thinking about it. That emotional charge built over time.

Now it shows up as:

Stress, burnout, irritability, sleepless nights and feeling overwhelmed.
We don’t manage that. We remove it.

Where Is Your Stress Coming From?

Stress usually has a source. Choose the one that fits best, and see how we help.

Relationship & Marriage Stress

The same arguments, growing distance or broken trust. Find what is really underneath and reconnect.

Anxiety, Panic & Overthinking

When stress turns into racing thoughts, constant worry or panic.

Anger & a Short Fuse

Snapping at the people you love? Remove the charge behind the reaction.

Work Stress & Burnout

Pressure, long hours and exhaustion. Get your energy, focus and sleep back.

Family & Parenting Stress

Kids, teens, aging parents and family conflict. Individual and family sessions.

Past Hurts That Still Trigger You

We Welcome All Cases — From Complex to Straightforward

Whether you’ve tried other approaches without success, or you’re simply ready to feel better and move forward. We can help.

From professionals and business owners to individuals who just want clarity and peace of mind— We work with people just like you.

How Do We Do This?

We are subconscious experts. Most therapies focus on the conscious mind, but most issues that keep coming back are actually rooted in the subconscious. Our processes bypass the conscious mind and create a powerful subconscious shift where the issue is located. If the issue is not addressed where it is rooted, it will keep rearing its ugly head again and again, and any change you experience will be temporary.

This is why we developed Saruna’s Rapid Emotional Release and Empowerment.

But that is only part of the solution. We call it “putting out the fire and catching the arsonist.” The fire is the underlying issue. Negativity is the arsonist, always building more issues and problems. That is why we developed a separate process, Thought Shifting, to address negativity: not only creating awareness, but teaching you step-by-step techniques to change your negative inner voice.

Every session is a full 60 minutes, often more. Most therapists book 45 to 50 minutes, so you get 20 to 33% more time in every session.

If you have tried other therapies without success, you are not the problem. The techniques used were the problem.

Common Questions

Still have questions? Call us now!
What causes stress that won’t go away?

Ongoing stress is usually not about how much is on your plate. It is the emotional charge from past experiences, fears and patterns that today’s pressure keeps triggering. When that charge is removed, the same situations stop overwhelming you.

Do you teach coping skills for stress?

No. We don’t teach coping skills. Why would we teach you to accept what you don’t like? Instead we identify the issue and remove the emotional charge.

What is the difference between stress and anxiety?

Stress is usually a response to pressure you can point to, such as work, money or family. Anxiety often continues even when the pressure is gone. The two often overlap. If worry, panic or racing thoughts are your main concern, see our anxiety page.

Can you help with burnout?

Yes. Burnout is what happens when stress has been running too long without relief. We work on what is driving it, so you can get your energy, focus and sleep back. For work and leadership pressure, see Executive Coaching.

Do you work with first responders?

Yes. We see many first responders and specialize in the stress that comes with the job.

Is this hypnosis?

Not on its own. Hypnosis is one of many tools we may blend into a session when it helps. Our core processes are Saruna’s Rapid Emotional Release and Empowerment, which releases the emotional charge, and Thought Shifting, which changes the negative inner voice.

How long is each session?

Every session is a full 60 minutes, often more. Most therapists book 45 to 50 minutes, so you get 20 to 33% more time in every session. We never rush, because the goal is your result, not the clock.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on your situation. Many people notice a difference within the first few sessions because we work on the root. We can work out what you need with a FREE evaluation, in person or by phone.

Do you offer online sessions?

Yes. Sessions are available online from anywhere in the world with an internet connection, or in person at our office at 2303 Central Ave., Windsor, Ont.
