The use of visualization as a means of integrating the spiritual dimension into treatment: Part II. Working with emotions.
This paper describes additional visualizations intended to foster the integration of the spiritual dimension into the treatment of addiction. An earlier paper described visualizations derived from Jungian principles, aiming particularly at calming, centering, and strengthening the spiritual connection. This paper focuses on work with feelings that arise in recovery. It describes the differing stance towards emotions in psychotherapy and in spiritual disciplines, and how these can be unified using visualizations.
