Description

Guided Imagery (GI) is an evidence-based, non-invasive, cost-effective, simple intervention for chronic conditions. It is efficacious for conditions such as PTSD, sleep disorders and anxiety. Pain management clinics have used GI for decades. This unique and dynamic seminar outlines pathways and mechanisms involved and the research that supports GI’s efficacy. In the practical components of this seminar, you will experience GI as relaxation therapy, practice GI script writing and practice how to tailor GI scripts for each client. Learn how to implement GI successfully into your clinical practice and offer your clients another evidence-based treatment for chronic conditions.
