WHAT IS IMAGINATION THERAPY?
The use of imagination in psychotherapy is extremely beneficial to most clients, for healing purposes as well as for personal and transpersonal development. It offers a great variety of tools and, in different ways, can apply to all approaches and conditions.
It could be said that psychotherapy is an art as well as a science, and that it requires both, rigorous knowledge and intuition. Imagination can be used within integrative and transpersonal approaches as well as with instrumental and medical models. Imagination is vital to touch conscious and unconscious elements. Creativity in psychotherapy can be as vast and infinite as the imagination of the client and the therapist. It offers original tools to facilitate and promote a rich therapeutic alliance. One of the goals of the counsellor is to be able to guide this imagination and play with the richness and variety of the means available, with precision and flexibility, in order to provide a very stimulating and more importantly, a very effective therapy.
