Kennan DeWitt, Visualization

Therapeutic visualization can be forward looking or backward re-storying. In looking forward, we can imagine and experience the goal or progress toward the goal. For example, a year from now, I will be advanced in my career, or have 8 more friends, or have a better relationship with a, b or c. If you can see yourself there, you can be there.

In backward re-storying, we may experience an event in a less traumatic or more positive frame of mind, or identify some positive aspect of the experience or silverlining.
