Voices & Visions Peer Support Group October 10th 2024

Voices and Visions Peer Support Group

An empowering information and peer support group, held monthly on the Sunshine Coast.

Do you hear voices, or do you experience unusual states of consciousness, such as psychosis, clairvoyance or waking dreams? Do you work with or care for someone else who does?

When I began hearing distressing voices in 2010, I found my way to a Hearing Voices support group which was a major source of comfort and inspiration to me at a very difficult time of my life. I felt validated by my 'tribe' and it helped me to unravel the shame around the experience.

Hearing voices is a broad term for the perception of communicating with unseen beings, or with parts of the self. It can be accompanied by psychosis, mania or dissociation, and other sensory phenomena, like seeing visions.

And it can feel lonely and distressing.
