Greetings, Friends! I just wanted to share some practice updates.
I am slowly moving towards getting my ultimate Guided Imagery and Music setup at my office--larger couch, really nice speakers, and, of course, all the music for traveling! My Level III training is going well. I still have more work to do building skills and experience guiding in the "deeper areas" of the GIM continuum (think Bonny Method programs, etc.), but I am on my way! I hope to continue to offer opportunities for practicum clients at a reduced fee over the next 6-12 months and will definitely be putting out material about emerging offerings for regular clients involving Guided Imagery and Music.
In other developments, I have been studying an improvisational imagery approach with my colleague and fellow Level III trainee, Al Hoberman (https://www.soundbalancetherapy.com/). This approach incorporates live ambient loop creation to express inner states and explore imagery. It is so cool! I am hopeful to begin offering this Soundscaping approach to those who are interested in the coming months! Please let me know if it is of interest to you!
Lastly, I am onboarding with an organization called Journey Clinical to receive training in Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy. I am very excited that this psychedelic approach can be offered in Indiana, and that I can offer this modality to my clients. I have no idea where this will lead, as I imagine there is a great need for (and great interest in) legal options for psychedelic therapy. I am also so excited for the intersection of music therapy and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy. The integration of music therapy into the Ketamine Therapy prep, dosing, and integration sessions will be a very powerful offering. I am excited to see where it all leads!
Thank you so much for taking the time to follow along with my practice and even cheer on my growth. If you are interested in any of these approaches and want to talk more about their potential for you, your community, or your clients--let me know!
