Practicing “Visualization” Techniques

Visualization is a self-guided therapeutic technique that can be done alone or with the help of a trained professional. Today we want to share a few basic guidelines in order to effectively practice visualization. Before that, lets discuss what this therapeutic technique can help with…

Visualization can help with:

• Combatting nausea.
• Anxiety. 
• Getting through a procedure.
• Self Healing.
• Coping with Trauma.
• Distancing yourself from negative feelings, memories, or people.

Basic steps to take while practicing visualization:

• Utilize all of your sense. This is extremely important and will help with your mental images. 
• Be present. Make sure to not take the back seat during your visualization journey. Be the driver. 
• Keep a Journal of your experiences. Log your experiences: what worked? What did not? This would be the perfect type of thing to put in your journal we discussed last tuesday!
• Practice! This type of self guided therapeutic technique may take some time to master, or cater to your needs.
