Guided Imagery defined
Dr. Jeanne Achterberg, a leader in imagery exploration and application, refers to imagery as “the thought process that invokes and uses the senses: vision, audition, smell, taste, the senses of movement, position and touch. It is the communication between perception, emotion, and bodily change.” Guided Imagery can evoke change through the senses both physical and imagined by skillful guidance.
Guided Imagery Experienced
A definition does not capture the experience of working with a trained Guided Imagery practitioner. And most people who have not had experience with this approach want to know about research on efficacy of Guided Imagery for changing symptoms, behavior before deciding to try it out. Imagery International’s professionals have written about their work over the years and through articles in Imagery International’s newsletter – ImagiNews - discuss how they have incorporated their Guided Imagery training into their practices.
Our membership is comprised of diverse licensed and certified professionals who show how this work is useful to virtually all types of work.
To see these articles that range from relevant research citations to treatment of symptoms and behavioral problems visit our About Guided Imagery page.
All types of professionals are not represented here. We will be adding information as articles are submitted.
