Hearing Voices, Healing Voices
Short course on the Sunshine Coast, 2022
This course presents a deeper understanding of the voice-hearing experience and ways to work with it. It applies to voice-hearing, dissociation and identity disorders, and troubling, intrusive thoughts.
It is brought to you by a unique team – Louisa is a woman with extensive lived experience of voice-hearing and recovery from schizophrenia, and Lori-Beth is a highly skilled trauma therapist and mental health nurse.
Together we help dispel myths, expand explanations for voice-hearing, and offer different possibilities for recovery. Using a deeply authentic person-centred approach, we provide recovery ideas and tools which can be offered to clients or used for yourself, if you are a voice-hearer. Perhaps more importantly, we seek to dispel stigma and fear, so that voices-hearers and support people can respond in more compassionate and helpful ways to voices.
Who is it for?
I encourage a mix of mental health professionals, voice-hearers and their carers/loved ones. We all have expertise and wisdom to share.
What will I learn?
Using my lived experience of schizophrenia and dissociation, my lessons learnt from working with voice-hearers, and world-renowned research from the Hearing Voices Movement, this training offers:
-
Knowledge on what's it like to hear voices and what it takes to recover
-
Understanding of the different explanations for voice-hearing and how to work with these
-
Different tools and therapies that can be used to assist recovery
-
Confidence to approach voices with curiosity and respond in helpful ways.
