mental imagery

New medical research is showing a connection between mental imagery and emotions. Distressing and intrusive mental imagery is being linked to DSM Mental Disorders and mental health issues. These studies conclude that there is a need for new treatments to resolve these sensory representations.

Logosynthesis® offers a solution. The Logosynthesis® Basic Procedure offers a structured, repeatable technique to identify and neutralize distressing mental imagery for immediate and lasting results. As of 2023, two published research papers and many case examples confirm this result. This calls for further research to establish the validity of the findings.

These posts cover a variety of topics, including:

TRAUMA HEALING

MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES

TRAUMATIC MEMORIES

INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS

STRESS MANAGEMENT

The Healthy Living Plan guides individuals to use Logosynthesis® to support their health and wellbeing. This includes the resolution of distressing mental imagery to reduce stress, feel better and unlock potential in work and life. We do this by empowering individuals with a combination of coaching, self-coaching and guided videos.

To learn more about why and how to use Logosynthesis® for leadership, you can watch a video, read Cathy’s books and take a course. Enjoy!
