Heidi Eversole announces the release of 'House Visualization Technique'

CINCINNATI, March 14, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Several years ago, after Heidi Eversole had returned home from her deployment from the U.S. Forces in Afghanistan, she began working toward her degree in psychology and in working with a therapist, to heal some of her own past traumatic experiences. One day, in an attempt to find some silence and relief from anxiety, the thought came across her mind, "what if my mind were a house, what would it look like?' At that instant, her house was created and she has been using House Visualization Technique (HVT) ever since. It has been nothing short of transformational for her. "House Visualization Technique" (published by Archway Publishing) is a guided visualization process which seeks to connect (or re-connect) the experiencer with their own authentic selves, and as a result, to process, heal and grow from anxiety, stress, griefs and traumatic events which have been "stored away" and are waiting to be unpacked.

This workbook gives readers a tool in which they are gently confronted with these events, situations and relationships by their own subconscious and show them —the boundaries of their own mind represented in the form of a house. By doing this, they "put the fence up" in the mind and allow their authentic selves to speak into the house in a powerful way. Each individual's own subconscious provides form for those things, which need to be seen, heard, and healed. By allowing their subconscious a blank canvas to give form and definition to their unique life and experiences, they become a witness to parts of their authentic selves that have previously remained buried or avoided. Layer by layer, healing from deep wounds, happens though connection with the one person from whom they need validation and understanding: oneself. Eversole also includes a section of this book on HVT stories from her clients and their experiences with this activity.

"In my experience as a clinician, I worked with so many people who had been able to avoid processing their own anxiety, grief, trauma, etc., by staying busy with work, social events and more. When society shut down temporarily and quarantine became a regular thing during COVID-19, that which had been avoided all of a sudden fought its way on to center stage. Not everyone was completely aware of what exactly was causing the anxiety or what needed to be grieved. That is where HVT comes in. The individuals (including myself) who used HVT were able to process in a deeply personal way the things, which has been waiting to be seen and unpacked. But it was the willingness to face and address what was in their 'house' that ultimately kept them in the process, "Eversole points out.

When asked what she wants readers to take away from the book, Eversole answered, "I want readers to walk away with a sense of empowerment about their ability to connect or reconnect with their authentic selves. This workbook is a lifelong tool that they can use for self-care, self-discovery and healing."
