Why does it work?
Guided visualization of a safe place is used widely for relaxation and stress management. Meta-analyses of guided imagery show small to moderate effects on stress and worry (e.g. Felix et al. 2018 on health-related worry). A gentler method than muscle relaxation, best as a complement and as a prepared resource.
