What is imagery dialogue and how to learn imagery dialogue

When doing psychological counseling, it is to start with speech, intention, behavior, etc., and the intentional dialogue technique is to choose to start with imagery, and change people's psychology and personality by adjusting and changing the image.

I'll give you a simple example, because examples are alive, examples are alive, and theories are much more boring. When I talk to the imagery, I always ask the visitor to make an imagination first. Depressed clients often have a lot of dust in the environment they imagine.

In fact, dust is a symbol of depression. When using imagery dialogue techniques to do female psychological counseling and **, we can ask the client to imagine scrubbing away the dust. When they do, they discover a strange thing.

They thought that their imagination was controlled by themselves, and in their imagination it should be "whatever they want", but in fact, when they imagined it, they found that in their imagination they could not do what they wanted. It is not easy for them to imagine wiping a table, often just after wiping, the imaginary table is dirty again. So, I asked them to repeatedly imagine wiping the table, and after many repeated imaginations, the imaginary table could be wiped clean.

However, once the dust is wiped off the table in the imagination, the visitor will feel much happier and the depression represented by the dust will disappear.

This is the intentional dialogue of psychological counseling, which requires systematic long-term learning.

Imagery dialogue is a basic theory of psychology, and it may be very difficult to learn it on your own, and you generally need to go through corresponding training to master the knowledge.

Open the door and see the grass, the grass is tender and green, there are beautiful flowers, walk to the gate of a park, there are green and black dense old trees, there is water flowing in a pond, there are lotus flowers in the water, there is a flowering tree by the pond, go inside, see a piece of golden wheat waiting to be harvested, when you go, pick a big red apple, see my husband, with a straw hat, wearing the clothes I usually wear, a kind of working people's appearance, see my husband and my husband will pick me up, I said husband I miss you, My husband says I love you, baby. We sat down to eat together, I ate the apple I had just picked, and my husband brought out a lollipop for me to eat. After a while, my husband turned into a big brown bear, I fed him chocolate, he loved to eat very much, I didn't want to eat, I didn't become an animal, he didn't feed me.

When I was magical, I changed into a little white rabbit and my husband turned into a hedgehog. My husband has become too big, and I have no way to put him on me, so I can only hold his bear paws, and my whole body can get into the warm arms of the big bear. Regarding feeding each other food, there is no possibility or contradiction, and it seems that it is more comfortable to eat each other.

On the way back, the wind suddenly rose, and the sky changed, and the grass on the grassland turned black as soon as the wind blew by. And then came back.

Dreaming is also an image. Zhu Jianjun was known as the first person to interpret dreams when he was a doctoral student, and his subsequent creation of the psychological method of imagery dialogue is also based on his in-depth study of the symbolism of various images in dreams. Imagery dialogue is actually daydreaming, allowing some imagery to emerge in a shallow hypnotic state, and looking for symbolic meaning from it, bringing out the subconscious complex.

Although human language is different, it is the same in imagery, because imagery is actually the carrier of emotions, and human emotions are similar, and the production of human logical language is only a few thousand years, but the emotions and feelings are not human beings.

When two people communicate in symbolic language, it is a heart-to-heart exchange, such as "the sea is dry and the stone is rotten and the heart will never change", such as "I would like to be a lamb and lie next to you", ......The basic feature of imagery dialogue is that the psychologist and the client use the imagery together, rely on the symbolism of these images to communicate with each other, enter the subconscious level relatively quickly, lead the client to be aware of the inside, and can resolve the complex by changing the imagery.

Symbolism is not only the key to one's own understanding, but also the beacon of one's self-realization. Carl Jung said, "Man's life is a process of constant search and creation of symbols; The history of mankind is the history of constantly replacing old symbols with new ones. ”

Imagery dialogue is a method of psychological adjustment and self-improvement, but also a method of self-knowledge and a good tool for self-growth. The images I experienced during the three-day class gave me another channel to self-awareness, and gave me some realizations and reflections.

I'll write here for today, and I'll write when I have time.

Imagery dialogue technology is a kind of psychological counseling and technology mainly founded by Mr. Zhu Jianjun, a psychologist in China. Imagery dialogue is developed on the basis of psychoanalysis and psychodynamic theory, and this technique creatively draws on the psychoanalytic techniques of dreams, hypnosis, humanistic psychology, and psychological ideas from Eastern cultures. It induces the visitor to do imagination, understands the client's subconscious psychological conflict, and modifies his subconscious imagery, so as to achieve the best effect.
