About The QuietMind Series:
The QuietMind series grew out of the clinical work I have been doing in my private
psychotherapy practice over the past 15 years. When clients of all ages used QuietMind
exercises, visualizations, meditations, and affirmations, they were better equipped to
manage feelings and control behaviors.
Who can use the QuietMind series?
• Children, adolescents, and adults with issues that include impaired self-esteem,
Attention Deficit Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, anxiety, grieving,
depression, and/or addictions.
• Professionals such as therapists, educators, counselors, and medical practitioners can
utilize the QuietMind series with their students, clients, or patients.
• Parents and caregivers can use the QuietMind series with their children or adolescents.
• Individuals can use the QuietMind series on their own.
QuietMind works on:
• Exercising whole brain activity
• Strengthening healthy, positive neural pathways
• Deepening access to and from the conscious to the subconscious
• Balancing brain hemispheres
In more practical terms, it creatively helps to better deal with issues in an easy, effective,
and timely manner.
As each person has a unique and different learning style, QuietMind utilizes a holistic
approach in its aims.
Incorporating visual cues, kinesthetic/movement activities, and imagination, the series is
successfully able to engage each person in the manner that best suits their style.
With the particular approaches in mind, Linton Suttner, a filmmaker and photographer,
edited the arrangement and composition of each print to influence the experience
of the person viewing the photo. Each photo is linked to specific visualizations, guided
meditations, exercises, affirmations, or particular questions. The photos have been chosen
to elicit communication, stimulate deeper dialogue, and enhance behavioral change.
The goal is that each photo acts as a catalyst for deeper self-reflection and more open
discussions resulting in healthier behavior.
The goal of the activities, visualizations, meditations, and affirmations is to more readily
access an inner calm and confidence in both body and mind. By drawing out a greater
sense of emotional strength and peace, QuietMind helps with a variety of processes and
problems.
The activities, meditations, exercises, and visualizations can be used as suggested or more
loosely depending on an individual’s goals, or by the treatment objectives outlined by a
therapist.
