Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Guided imagery involves helping the client create a vivid, sensory image in their mind, often related to a problem they are facing. The client is then guided to relax and pay attention to any feelings or sensations that arise in their body while focusing on this image. This can help the client gain insight into their emotions and find a sense of calm and control over their situation. Positive imagery from the past may also be used, but the primary focus is on the current issue at hand. Thought-stopping is not typically used in guided imagery. The therapist should certainly communicate positive reinforcement to the client, but simply advising them that "this is a good thing" is not a sufficient explanation or instruction.
