I went through a period where I used alot of visualisation. For me, I did not have my T in those or just barely and minimally, mostly I would recall her words and the things she helped me understand as I visualised. The visualisations changed alot, according to what I needed to process I guess. Now, I find I don't need to do it as much and alot of them are gone.
As for feeling silly, yes, it can feel that way. It is your rational mind that is pointing out to you that what you are doing and seeing is not really real, if you know what I mean. But from experience I know they help and work in helping to resolve what it is you need to resolve.
Allow them to change and let them help you understand and feel what it is that you need. And talk about them too with your T. Probably one of the nicest surprises I've had in talking with my T is to be able to tell her of my visualisations. I thought she might think I was really 'out there', instead she made me feel okay to be able to talk about them and encouraged me to make the make the connections of what was going on and provided her ever valuable psychological connections and explanations.
