| Annotation | This article explores the effective use of the unconscious as an ally in providing therapy to bereaved clients. The power of the unconscious, often an underused but potent resource, can be employed through the use of specialised communication techniques which incorporate the specific language of the unconscious. It presents the therapeutic use of `embedded affirmations', metaphors, and guided visualisations, focused on harnessing the healing potential of the unconscious. Included is a step-by-step model for constructing a guided visualisation which can be customised to meet the needs of both individual clients and groups. (RH). |
