Abstract: "GIM has been used in the inpatient psychiatric setting in the treatment of patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). GIM has been effective in addressing PTSD symptoms of hyperarousal, intrusion and constriction, and the core sxperience of disempowerment and disconnection in both individual and group sessions. The GIM process allows access to subconscious feelings, images, and memories and fosters empowerment and reconnection through self-understanding and an alliance with the therapist."
