Finding the Bridge: Schema Therapy and Imagery Rescripting for Trauma, Voice Hearing and Psychosis
Traditional Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) for psychosis has focused largely on thoughts, beliefs and behavioural responses to voices and hallucinations. However, research is increasingly demonstrating that distressing mental imagery—including trauma memories, intrusive images and feared future images—can play an important role in the development and maintenance of voice hearing and visual hallucinations.
This highly practical, experiential workshop introduces Imagery-Enhanced Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (IE-CBT) for voice hearing alongside Imagery-Focused Therapy (IFT) for visual hallucinations. Participants will learn how to assess and formulate the role of imagery in voices and visual hallucinations, and how to integrate imagery-based interventions into routine CBT for psychosis.
Drawing on Georgie's clinical research and experience developing these approaches, participants will explore a range of imagery-based techniques, including imagery rescripting, imagery transformation, compassionate imagery, imagery exposure and future imagery methods. The workshop also introduces a novel protocol for working therapeutically with visual hallucinations using imagery-based interventions.
Throughout the day, research evidence is integrated with practical clinical skills through: client video examples, therapy demonstrations, case illustrations, small-group discussions, experiential role plays, practical clinical strategies that can be immediately incorporated into therapy.
Who should attend?
This workshop is designed for psychologists and other mental health professionals working in a therapy role
The workshop is best suited to clinicians who have some prior knowledge or introductory training in Schema Therapy and/or Imagery Rescripting.
For clinicians newer to working with voice hearing and psychosis, access to a pre-recorded introductory video on understanding voices and psychosis will be provided as part of the pre-workshop materials.
