Imagination-Focused Therapy Series
“Your Patients and Clients Already Imagine—Now Let’s Do It on Purpose.”
We are excited to invite you to a groundbreaking 8-week therapy series that will change how we understand and use the power of our mind. Whether your patients and clients struggle with anxiety, trauma, mood instability, self-doubt, or chronic stress, or they're simply seeking a deeper path to growth and healing, this series is designed for you to help them do just that.
CEUs: 1
Location: Online via Zoom
What It Is:
This series uses the power of imagination, something individuals already use every day, to help them rewire unhelpful patterns, create new emotional experiences, and build a relationship with their Imagined Self
Why It Works:
Research shows that the brain responds to imagined experiences almost as powerfully as real ones. When done intentionally, imagination can become a clinical tool for healing trauma, transforming fear, buildng self-worth, and practicing emotional flexibility (Kosslyn et al., 2001; Decety & Grèzes, 2006).
What You’ll Gain:
- A calm inner place to return to in moments of distress
- A practice of conscious imagery that reduces reactivity
- Tools to rewrite old stories and limiting beliefs
- A connection to your inner resourcefulness and wisdom
- A supportive, confidential community

- Week 1 (September 4, 2025) - The Power of Imagination – Foundation, Safety, and First Practice
- Week 2 (September 18, 2025) - From Surviving to Creating – Your Inner Safe Place

The most powerful changes happen when individuals stop imagining from fear and start imagining from love, wholeness, and vision.
