ATS/3A - IGIsm Imagery Work w Children - Audio on 6 CD's
All children must deal with pain and stress, but they are rarely taught how to do so. Since they typically have had little prior life experience and thus only a primitive understanding of the processes involved, kids tend to be highly susceptible to feelings of helplessness and insecurity when exposed to the demands of contemporary living. Imagery is an excellent interventional tool when working with kids coping with acute or chronic stress, pain, or medical illness, and it can also play an essential role in helping them to deal with developmental crises, accelerate learning, expand creativity, and enhance self-esteem.
ATS/3B - Survivors of Childhood Abuse - Audio on 6 CD's
There is a rapidly growing awareness of the widespread prevalence of childhood abuse, ranging from neglect, through emotional abuse, to physical violence, molestation, and incest. The emotional wounds which arise from these early experiences can produce a wide range of difficulties that emerge in adult life as depression, anxiety disorders, borderline personality structures, somatization disorders, and addictions to both substances and processes. Imagery can be useful in helping people to connect with and work through feeling states that have been split away, to find and strengthen inner resources, to grieve their losses, and to build new self-identities that grow beyond the limits of their wounds.
ATS/4A - Chronic and Catastrophic Illness - Audio on 6 CD's
ATS/4A examines the many uses of guided imagery in working with people with physical illnesses, with an emphasis on issues accompanying chronic, catastrophic, and life-threatening illness. The onset of serious or life-threatening illness creates a number of crises that need to be addressed both by the patient and helping professional if the patient is to meet the challenge of the illness most resourcefully. In addition, imagery can often be helpful in relieving pain and other symptoms, in helping people to tolerate difficult medical procedures, and in stimulating healing responses in the body.
ATS/4B - Death, Dying, and Transformation - Audio on 6 CD's
Imagery is an excellent interventional tool in helping people move through loss and transformation. This program discusses the importance of belief systems in patients with catastrophic illness, and how imagery can be used to help people adopt more positive beliefs and attitudes. It specificially explores the uses of Interactive Guided Imagerysm in hospice work with dying patients and their caregivers, emphasizing the imagery techniques found to be most effective in controlling pain, stress, and anticipatory nausea and vomiting, as well as techniques that caregivers can also benefit from using.
