Guided imagery 2 – additional techniques
This new workshop, which builds on the skills learnt on guided imagery and visualisation for therapeutic change (‘day one’), delves deeper into the power and flexibility of this essential therapeutic skill with a variety of guided imagery techniques that can be used to help people move on from problem behaviours, reframe life circumstances and to lower emotional arousal through introducing helpful new patterns of understanding into their life.
Strong emotions focus and lock attention keeping people trapped or stuck; this hands-on training day will allow you to further develop your therapeutic abilities to help people rehearse in their imagination any desired change to their behaviours and/or feelings, which dramatically increases the likelihood of those changes taking place in ‘real life’, and then be maintained in the future.
On day two we focus specifically on the techniques that allow clients to move forward from depression, overcome anxiety and combat addiction. We also look at how to introduce helpful new understandings to clients in a way that overcomes resistance.
Guided imagery, as taught on day one is one of the most powerful psychotherapeutic tools available to us; day two will allow you to develop your ability to use it flexibly and successfully in a range of different client presentations
