Voice Dialogue FAQ

Voice Dialogue is a psychospiritual approach to consciousness and transformation that includes an in-depth study of the many selves or subpersonalities that make up the psyche. Voice Dialogue works with dreams, archetypal bonding patterns in relationship, and body energy fields. A Voice Dialogue session opens wide the doors to your inner world -- you always receive tremendous insights that you can apply immediately to your life.

Voice Dialogue is a simple yet powerful method of speaking with the diverse selves within us. These selves express as a continuous stream of energy moving through us, shaping our bodies and our experience at all times. The Voice Dialogue process is gentle, safe, grounded and fun, and it supports any form of inner work with a strong, reliable hand. It is an excellent tool for therapists to complement their work with clients, and it is profoundly useful as a tool for self exploration.
