• the courage to confront dangers and problems emerging in the imagery
• the readiness to ask for and accept help in the imagery
• the capacity to find ways out in conflict situations and find solutions to
difficult problems in the imagery
• the capacity to relate the imagery and the metaphors to the focus of the session
and understand them as working tools in a psychological process of
exploration and elaboration.
Both participants stated that they were not scared by even complex and dark
metaphors. This means that they trusted the music and imagery process and had
control over the imagery at a subconscious level.
In order to investigate how the questionnaires might shed light on the developmental
process, I will make a closer examination and comparison of the two participants’
HADS scores from session to session. The purpose is to determine whether the
development was gradual or random for the individual participant, and whether a
developmental pattern can be observed. Fig. 7.5 and 7.6 show the Anxiety and
Depression scores of the two participants.
