“I listened to my first Max Highstein cassette tape back in the late 80’s and I have been listening and recommending them to my clients ever since. Max has a true gift of creating vivid imagery that leads one to such deep inner places to discover profound peace, tranquility, confidence and newness. Now, to have the scripts to use in session immediately right in the moment is exciting.

I just wanted to commend and thank you for your fantastic book of 100 guided imagery scripts. I have been looking for scripts of this caliber for years! They are superb. I use them for myself and am a MSW candidate, so I will be using them with clients. 

“I specialize in helping sexual trauma survivors and those who have survived a life threatening illness to recover from the trauma. Having these beautifully scripted, illustrious scripts for taking them on a healing journey to soothe their soul is invaluable.

I highly recommend this superb book. This collection is wonderful, and I will be using it for myself and in my social work practice. – Suzanne S., Amazon verified review.

“Even as long as I have done this work sometimes, trying to come up with my own words for a guided visualization is difficult and now to have at my fingertips, scripts FAR more effective than anything I would come up with in the moment is truly a godsend. My clients tell me they find the results of the deep calming and restorative effects help to remind them of a place deep within where they feel they are safe and that it seemingly resets something in their nervous system. Max Highstein’s scripts are truly exquisite and powerful!” – Deborah Roberts

I currently use many of your scripts for myself, and read them occasionally to my coaching clients. The amount of success I’ve had with these scripts is incredible. I have tried several other scripts and they haven’t come close. — K. via email

“This is an awesome work of art for anyone who helps others with guided inner journeys of many topics.

We are sure this book will help everyone because it has so many topics. Thank you, Max, for publishing this remarkable book.”
