Guided imagery and visualisation for therapeutic change
About this event
Strong emotions focus and lock attention – keeping people trapped in problem behaviours. Therapeutic change cannot happen until the emotional arousal is reduced. This is why all health and welfare professionals need to know how to induce the relaxation response in their clients. Guided imagery and visualisation not only reduce emotional arousal quickly but can be used to reframe life circumstances through metaphor and to rehearse in the imagination of any required changed behaviours and/or feelings.
This is a key course to attend, as guided imagery is an essential skill required for:
- removing phobias
- curing PTSD
- lifting depression
- overcoming addictions or self-harm
- raising self-confidence and increasing motivation
When you become confident in using these skills, you can begin to bring patients out of the emotionally-driven trance states of a wide range of conditions such as:
- anxiety disorders
- addiction
- anger
- stress overload
- depression
- chronic pain
That is why guided imagery is one of the most powerful psychotherapeutic tools available to us.
