Supportive Music And Imagery (SMI)

What is it?

Supportive Music and Imagery is a short-term therapy (7-8 sessions in total) that works with a client’s positive inner resources to enhance their sense of wellbeing.

By focusing and deepening the inner quality of these positive resources and positive imagery, it enhances the client’s ego. 

What happens in a session?

The sessions which are one-to-one, last 1hr and are spaced weekly.

It is highly structured and uses a single chosen positive image (a healthy resource of the client) and a single piece of pre-recorded music (supportive music) that is chosen by the client and the therapist together for the session.

While the client listens to the chosen music (s)he expresses her/himself through the use of creative arts.

Then the process is explored and deepened with the therapist.

The client is encouraged to explore and enjoy the positive experience using supportive music and imagery at home.
