Imagery Rescripting (ImRs) session support

Imagery Rescripting (ImRs) is a live-session schema therapy support tool for therapists working with memories, nightmares, aversive images, fantasies, or future projections that maintain current distress. It helps the practitioner organize the target, unmet needs, in-image intervention, reported shifts, and links to current schema or mode work.

Tool guide

Learn more about this tool

Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.

Live-session boundaries

ImRs is represented as therapist-guided in-session work. The page should not present it as an autonomous client exercise or a score-based assessment.

Incomplete sessions

Attempted, paused, or interrupted work can be saved descriptively. If rescripting does not occur, the review must not imply unmet needs were addressed.

History use

Prior ImRs records may be shown by target and date for continuity, without comparing them as standardized outcomes.

Is this a self-guided imagery exercise for clients?

No. The tool supports therapist-guided live-session Imagery Rescripting and documentation; the client does not complete a separate product flow.

Does the tool score whether ImRs worked?

No. It provides a descriptive review of phases reached, unmet needs addressed, reported shifts, and practitioner-entered links.

Can I use a client-facing view?

Yes, optionally. The client-facing view should show only simple framing or phase labels selected by the practitioner.

What happens if the exercise stops early?

The record can remain partial and show the phase reached, obstacle notes, and unresolved items without marking the work complete.
