To acquire the skills of applying visual-shaped therapy alone, it takes 6-8 visits to the therapist. Then you can do it yourself using either audio recordings of your previous sessions, or records specially created to solve a particular problem.
Vision is the main way of communication between a person and the outside world. Our speech is literally permeated with visual images: we "see" the solution, "create a background," "imagine," "foresee." The amazing impact of the surrounding images on the psyche, scientists can now use to treat various nervous disorders, relieve stress, get rid of depression. To get rid of various diseases and ailments go to therapy for a healthy human body.
How do images work?
Stage 1: presentation. Visual (or emotional-shaped) therapy for a healthy human body uses subjective images that reflect the emotional states of a person. Compared to hypnosis, when the client is offered only to relax and listen to the therapist, during the visual therapy session the patient himself actively participates in the process, he is his main actor. Compare:
The hypnotherapist inspires the patient that he must see. The visual therapist, on the contrary, asks the patient to imagine and memorize the most pleasing images to him, and then together they form a powerful anti-stress tool.
Stage 2: selection. Together with the therapist, the client finds out which of his own images - "pictures" have the most relaxing effect.
Stage 3: Immersion. Then the doctor uses the received information to immerse the client in a state between sleep and reality - the border state. In it, a person is deeply relaxed, but at the same time completely controls the external situation. In this state, you can work with the mind, including "insert" there positive thoughts, and just change the general mood.
Step 4: Conversion. Together with the doctor, the client transforms negative emotions and positive ones. For example, a person with cancer can imagine how his or her leukocytes absorb cancer cells, deactivate, dissolve, and finally completely eliminate them and remove them from the body. The patient's emotional state improves, stress and depression recede.
Why it works
Such therapy works, because for the brain - that is, for chemical reactions in it - it does not matter, in fact you experience something or only figuratively imagine what you are experiencing. The processes in the brain in both cases are the same. When a person expresses the feelings that torment him in a visual image, this gives him the status of something that exists objectively. As objectively existing it is quite possible to consult! Scanning the brain shows that if you imagine how you eat a juicy orange, then the activity of the same area of the cerebral cortex will increase, as if you were really eating an orange.
