Get LIGHT Lessons

Awarded the 2021 Center for Research on Empathy and Compassion Seed Grant. https://empathyandcompassion.ucsd.edu/centers/center-for-research/2021-seed-grant-awardees.html After eight years of research and development, UC San Diego will debut a novel program this September, called LIGHT™ (Light Induced Guided Healing Therapy) through its Centers for Integrative Health. Developed by Paula Marie Jackson and Tom Thudiyanplackal, LIGHT is an evidence-based protocol that empowers the individual with a self-care approach to enhancing self-efficacy, an individual’s belief in their innate ability to achieve goals. This protocol has been shown to improve mood, decrease fatigue, and positively affect the quality of life. * LIGHT has been formerly called HLGI (Healing Light Guided Imagery) and Guided Imagery Hypnotherapy (GIH) in the research studies.
