Imagined interactions (IIs) can be used as a type of self-therapy
when dealing with stress and trauma. We often have IIs in terms of
flashbacks as portrayed in movies. It is hoped that this volume
will inspire some people to use IIs as a type of self-therapy and
to realize that having IIs in everyday life is a normal part of
daydreaming and mental imagery. IIs can be used productively as
well as dysfunctionally. Hence, it is up to the individual to
decide how they use IIs to deal with stress and trauma. Benefits of
IIs include helping people rehearse strategies, reduce primary
tension (which occurs before or at the beginning of interactions),
and gain others' viewpoints. Even though, you can think positively
or negatively, thinking positively may be easier said than done.
Human survival and mental health require a balance between optimism
and pessimism. Individuals gain more self-understanding by thinking
about interactions. It is a process called self-perception that
clarifies feelings about people and topics. IIs can improve mood by
reducing tensions through the catharsis function. They help us
understand our beliefs. The book is divided into three sections.
Section 1 discusses how IIs can deal with teasing, bullying, abuse,
and conflict. Section 2 covers physical, emotional, and material
loss. Section 3 is concerned with policy concerns including
hurricane evacuations, environmental concerns, police encounters,
and presidential politics.
