Fine-tuning Your Guided Imagery Practice: New Findings & Approaches to Maximize Efficacy & Impact
Belleruth Naparstek LISW, BCD
 

After decades of clinical research, guided imagery has come of age as a remarkably simple, user-friendly technique that significantly assists with physical and emotional challenges. We can further potentiate the power of guided imagery when we fine-tune our methods and make maximal use of the more nuanced findings yielded in recent clinical trials. Additionally, new portable delivery methods, such as iPods and mobile phones, open-up exciting new applications. In this intensive training, participants will learn how to become successful practitioners of guided imagery with heightened skills to tease out even the most debilitating intricacies of ultimate mind-body-spirit conditions of post-traumatic stress, by going deep within and deploying multi-sensory symbol and metaphor to catalyze profound healing.
