GUIDED IMAGERY AND MUSIC
'The Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) is a music and imagery-centred method informed by psychotherapeutic principles. Specifically programmed music is used to facilitate a dynamic exploration of consciousness and inner experiences in support of physical and psychological transformation and well-being'. European Association of Music and Imagery https://www.music-and-imagery.eu/
Selected programmes of music evoke imagery, memories, body sensations, insights or emotions. Experiences are shared with the therapist as guide, who helps to deepen the process and provide a supportive context for processing material.
GIM offers personal insight and coping strategies for:
- Creative approaches to personal development
- Support and clarity around times of change
- The effects of stress, anxiety, depression, grief and bereavement
- Trauma, abuse, addiction, recovery
- Long-term or life-limiting conditions
- Musicians and artists wishing to explore their creativity and relationship to music
- CPD and personal growth for Therapists and Counsellors (professionals and trainees)
Individual or modified groups sessions can take place in a designated therapy centre, at the therapist’s home or in your own home. Modified approaches are specifically designed for a range of client groups and settings.
