Abstract in brief

Imagery rescripting (ImR) is an effective therapy for reducing negative emotions like anger, guilt, disgust, sadness, and shame by changing distressing mental images.
The review found significant improvements in these emotions across different populations, especially for sadness, anger, and shame, with effects that are moderate to large.
ImR works well across various mental health conditions, such as social anxiety and chronic pain, and may even have stronger effects over time, though more research is needed to understand how it changes emotions.
