The child/teen indicates an issue or aspect of their life they would like to explore. Linda chooses music that will be most effective in meeting the client’s unique needs.
Linda guides the session while the child/teen listens to music in a relaxed state. The child/teen allows their own images to come to conscious awareness and expression. These images may include visuals, feeling states, memories, awarenesses, and/or body responses. This process encourages discovery and awareness in a supportive environment. When the music ends, the child/teen will have an opportunity to explore applications of the session in their daily life.
GIM is primarily a dynamic process between client and therapist, but can be adapted by experienced facilitators to include group processes. Linda provides sessions for individuals and groups.
