WHY TAKE THIS COURSE
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
any required changed behaviours and/or feelings, which dramatically increases
the likelihood of those changes taking place in ‘real life’.
If you want to be able to help people effectively, this is a key course to
attend – guided imagery is an essential skill required for removing phobias,
curing PTSD, lifting depression and overcoming addictions or self-harm, and is
also useful for 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, trauma, depression,
chronic pain [https://www.humangivens.com/college/pain-management/] and much
more
[https://www.humangivens.com/college/guided-imagery-and-visualisation-workshop/#suitable].
That is why guided imagery is one of the most powerful psychotherapeutic tools
available to us – and one you need in your ‘toolkit’.
> Fascinating way of working with clients – relaxation techniques very powerful.
> Extremely relevant to practice. Good techniques and strategies learnt to use
> with clients to help them problem solve and move forward.
