This is a specific technique designed to use guided imagery interactively for the purpose of healing and self-improvement. It is taught at the Academy for Guided Imagery, which offers certification training. A practitioner trained in this technique will be able to provide a safe environment for personal growth and self-discovery.
So far we have spoken of guided imagery as a powerful tool used to increase a person's ability to relax and quiet their spirit as well as their minds. In guided imagery, a person does not speak or gesture in any way. Where Interactive Guided Imagery SM differs from this is the following:
- During Interactive Guided Imagery SM sessions, the client gestures and speaks to the guide continually. It is through these interchanges that personal discovery takes place.
- The process of Interactive Guided Imagery SM can be used to help explore the many aspects of your life that you find distressing. Through the use of this technique you will be able to give a voice to your symptoms and you will finally be able to understand what they have been trying to communicate to you all along. The technique can be used to address a multiplicity of behaviors: addictions to cigarettes, alcohol, foods, for example, anxiety, depression, complicated bereavement, performance anxiety, workplace anxiety. It would be impossible to list all of the uses of this groundbreaking technique.
- Know that it can be used to heal past emotional wounds or it can be invoked to prepare for a more effective, flawless work performance. It provides you with your own internal microscope, and makes a wonderful adjunct to either psychotherapy or professional coaching.
