Essential skill for removing phobia, PTSD, lifting depression and raising self-confidence - one of the most powerful psychological tools known.
Strong emotions focus and lock attention - keeping people trapped in problem behaviours. Therapeutic change cannot happen, therefore, unless the emotional arousal is first reduced. This is why healthcare professionals need to know how to induce the relaxation response in patients. Guided imagery and visualisation not only reduce emotional arousal quickly, they can also be used to reframe life circumstances through metaphor and to rehearse in the imagination any required changed behaviours and/or feelings. Among other things, guided imagery is an essential skill for removing phobias, curing PTSD, lifting depression and raising self-confidence. 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 and chronic pain. That is why guided imagery is one of the most powerful psychotherapeutic tools known.
