What is GIM?

 The Bonny Method of Guided Imagery & Music (GIM) is a gentle music-centered transpersonal psychotherapy that uses sequences of classical music to stimulate imagery and journeys into different levels of consciousness. Exploration of deep inner states facilitates integration, healing, transformation, and growth. GIM has been effective with a wide range of people and issues.

A Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent is preferred although 3rd and 4th year Music Therapy students are welcome in this level of introductory training.
