ABSTRACT
The flexibility of the therapist is called into play in finding and holding the focus. The client needs to be aware of the rationale behind this exercise and to agree to give it a try. The memories that come up often move the therapy along very quickly; at times, it can be very emotional and powerful. Sufficient time needs to be allowed for it within the session so that the client ends in a good place. The therapist needs to be able to work with the client to move the emerging scenes on. In using this method one needs to be very creative and work with where the client is, but remember the client can be creative, too. The therapist then helps the client to go into the scene and to fill in as much detail as possible. Sometimes the client remains fairly silent, alone with their scene.
