This article describes using imagery approaches during group schema therapy (GST). Imagery approaches are an important tool for identifying and changing maladaptive schema modes and early maladaptive schemas. It summarises the theoretical background of the group imagery method and practical case vignettes. The text describes methods for using imagery in therapeutic groups, building a safe place, imagery rescribing painful experiences, and dialogue between schema modes. It also stresses challenging matters, like problems with imagery, difficulties trusting another person, and resistance to change. Using imagery in GST is a powerful approach to increase patient results during the therapy.
