Best Answer

It is a technique usually used to aide in exposure therapy for PTSD. In imaginal exposure the client is told to imagine what images or situations that are causing him fear. This can help someone confront his feared thoughts/memories more directly. It is also useful when a person cannot go back and confront his fears in reality. For example, you couldn't ask a rape victim to get over her fear by having her raped repeatedly. You would just have her imagine when she was raped.
