How long can the benefits of Guided Imagery actually last?
The benefits can last forever. Guided Imagery can change how you experience your past hurts, unresolved conflicts and trauma. If the client continues to use the principles learned in Guided Imagery for future problems, then the benefits of Guided Imagery will remain unchanged. One of the techniques that is taught to you to reinforce the healing benefits of Guided Imagery is the introduction of an Alpha Trigger. An Alpha Trigger allows you to return to the symptom relief experienced during the Guided Imagery session by using a simple gesture such as touching your tongue to the roof of your mouth, or putting your thumb and two fingers together.
