With the advent of mindfulness’ popularity and the growing field of mind/body approaches, it has finally taken a seat at the table of recognized and valued clinical approaches for mental health professionals. There are various settings in which mental imagery can impact a client’s well-being. Understanding the whys and wherefores of when and how to use mental imagery as a helping modality can be valuable in any clinician’s toolbox.
