Mental Imagery The Healthy Living Plan Logosynthesis

Mental imagery can aid relaxation.

Studies have shown that mental imagery can help not onlly the mind, but also the body to relax. Mental imagery can help:

  • manage anxiety, stress and depression
  • help reduce pain
  • lower blood pressure
  • lessen nausea
  • give you a better sense of control and wellbeing

Mental imagery also plays a role in distressing emotions.

Research also shows an important connection between intrusive imagery and distressing emotions. In a review by Brewin, Gregory and Burgess (Psychological Review, 2010), they state that:

“Involuntary images and visual memories are prominent in many types of mental health issues. Patients with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), other anxiety disorders, depression, eating disorders, and psychosis frequently report repeated visual intrusions corresponding to a small number of real or imaginary events, usually extremely vivid, detailed, and with highly distressing content.”

Additionally, they concluded that:

“Involuntary memory-related imagery appears to play a more significant role than has previously been thought across a wide range of psychological disorders. It represents a mechanism whereby high-impact events in a person’s history, whether real or imagined, can continue to affect thought, emotion, and behaviour…. This suggests that it should be given greater prominence as a target of psychological therapy than has often been the case.”
