Mr T tried guided imagery with me, but my imagery seems resistant to guidance.

rain, i think i've done something similar to that. we used a box or trash can to dump all the emotions, lies, etc. one time i saw a big trash dumpster, lol, so there was obviously a lot i needed to release. usually there is crying on my part or some big emotional expression to get the emotions out. it's weird because i don't always notice a big difference later but i know something happened. i don't know if that quite makes sense. i guess i just trust that something is happening even if i don't really understand how it all works.

I haven't tried quite the same thing, but my T has used hypnotherapy and guided visualisations with me, with similar themes - one involved removing rocks from a heavy backpack, another involved throwing pebbles (that represented my negative thoughts) into the sea. The whole process left me feeling a lot more relaxed than I'd been, and, yes 'unburdened'

There are things I've tried in therapy that I've been sceptical of and have made me feel silly... but... sometimes these things are worth a go, in my experience.
