Description
Description: This workshop offers a comprehensive, experience-based introduction to guided imagery as a therapeutic tool for healing, coping, and meaning-making in the face of illness. Participants learn how to structure imagery sessions, choose language and images that fit each client, and work with mind–body processes such as relaxation, expectation, and emotional engagement. Drawing from clinical practice, research, and live experiential exercises, the session shows how guided imagery can support resilience, reduce suffering, and help clients feel less alone while facing serious medical and life challenges.
Syllabus Description: The systematics of using guided imagery (GI) for psychotherapy and/or healing will be presented, along with the rationale for each component. Using a volunteer, the attendees will participate in creating a GI; then the presenter will carry out what they have designed. If time permits, attendees will experience a generic group GI.
Educational Objectives:
- To describe the components of a guided imagery session.
- To describe the importance of individually developed GI vs. generic.
*Sessions may be edited for content and to preserve confidentiality*
