Imagery and Healing


Name:
Annette B.

Location:
Walnut Creek, California

Story:

Interactive guided imagery helped turn around my fears and anxieties about going out of my home into wide, open spaces (agoraphobia) . Conventional drug therapy did not reduce this phobia, but only accentuated nightmares and obsessions. Plus, the side effects of the drugs created a host of other miseries. I worked with Dr. Meg Jordan for six sessions of guided imagery, and I went from not being able to venture out my door to enjoying the open parks around my home in northern California. If it weren't for the caring attention of alternative health practitioners, I would be living a life of fear and isolation.
