This book started me on the road to recovery,
By
This review is from: Guided Imagery for Self-Healing (Paperback)
This book is an updated and improved version of Dr. Rossman's "Healing Yourself." When I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1989, I was depressed, scared, and didn't know where to turn. Doctors had nothing effective, and still don't. Rossman's book, and the tapes that go with it, got me moving again. It helped me get in touch with inner strength, and find out what I needed to do to recover.I have consulted his book and tapes for nearly ten years, and they have always helped me to reach my maximum state of wellness. I have shared these resources with friends and family, with excellent results in most cases. Imagery is a way of getting in touch with parts of ourselves that don't talk in words, aspects of ourselves we have ignored,which may be screaming for attention through physical symptoms or painful emotions. Whatever has caused our illness, there are always spiritual and emotional aspects that contribute to our healing or getting worse. Exploring those dimensions of our lives enables us to care for ourselves effectively. In various imagery exercises, we can "listen to our symptoms," "explore our resistance" (to change) and connect with an "inner advisor," a figure of wisdom and kindness who has been with us since we were born. The exercises are always relaxing, frequently informative, and sometimes transformational. They are easy to use and hold up well to repeated use, unlike some visualization scripts which get boring after a few uses. Dr. Rossman's explanation of what imagery is and how it works is clearer than anything I can provide here. For anyone facing physical or emotional health problems, "Guided Imagery" is truly a vital resource for self-care and healing.

This review is from: Guided Imagery for Self-Healing (Paperback)
I am a therapist and use guided imagery alot. Rossman's book is invaluable to me as a therapist and my clients as well. It is very clear and can be recommended to my clients who are interested. But the healing power of interactive guided imagery surpasses any quided imagery that we can come up with, another words - it is better to help guide someone to their own healing places, images, and symbols. It never ceases to amaze me the self healing mechanisms that we possess - even the most trumatized. This is a suburb book, above all the rest!

For seekers of wellness and practioners alike.,
By Carl Ringwood-Walker (RingWalk@aol.com) (North Wales, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Guided Imagery for Self-Healing (Paperback)
As a graduate of the Academy for Guided Imagery in Mill Valley, California, of which Dr. Rossman is a co-founder and director, it really comes as no surprise to me to find this book is written in a way that demonstrates very clearly the results of Dr. Rossman's many years of experience in the field. It displays the sensitivity with clear insight that are the hallmarks of a competent and compassionate imagery practitioner. For anyone seeking to develop their skills as an imagery guide as well as those who face their own life-challenging events and wish to take some charge of their physical and emotional lives, I can heartily recommend this volume.
