The Voice Dialogue Method...
The core of Voice Dialogue is the experience of meeting parts of ourselves in a structured way. This safe and effective method of personal investigation involves engaging in a dialogue directly with various parts of your psyche.
The aim is to discover which Inner Selves you are identified with, gain awareness of these parts and how they influence your life so you can “grow” a more aware Ego. As you deepen your knowledge of your Primary Inner Self system and discover the influence of previously hidden and disowned Inner Selves, this transformational work releases energy that is now consciously available. We are able to relate candidly with these Inner Selves rather than be driven by them, allowing us more choice and flexibility in all aspects of our lives.
Voice Dialogue often melts black-and-white thinking. It is an extremely powerful tool that helps separate from a dominant point of view, which could include breaking habits of anxiety, depression, negative and distorted thinking, catastrophizing, addiction, eating disordered behaviors, lack of creativity, any of which can be part of a lifestyle of poor relationships, poor physical/fiscal health,poor decisions/indecision and more...

It's not new that we use different parts of ourselves all the time...

The premise of Voice Dialogue is that our personality consists of an assortment of Inner Selves (sometimes called Sub-personalities) that live within us and are usually experienced as inner voices with different energies. This is a natural result of growing up. Over time our caretakers reinforced some parts of ourselves and rejected other aspects. We become identified with family-approved Inner Selves (like “The Pleaser,” or even “The Scapegoat.”) We think of a few Inner Selves as “me.” These become Primary Inner Selves (the public face that “everyone” knows like “The Likable Inner Self,” “The Get-It-Done Inner Self,” “The Good Parent Inner Self.”) We disown their opposites that got rejected early in our lives at home and school which could be “The Angry Inner Self,” “The Procrastinator Inner Self,” “The Acting-Out Inner Rebel” or even “The Vulnerable Inner Child.” |
Disowned Inner Selves are often expressed in our dreams as well as brought into our lives by having to deal with people we detest or idolize (like your boss and your best friend.) These energy patterns are repressed, but not destroyed and live in our unconscious. Our Disowned Inner Selves carry tremendous power and may make themselves known physically through exhaustion, mood swings, addictions, compulsions, and a bewildering sense of not being able to trust yourself.
Voice Dialogue recognizes that each Inner Self has its own history, role, wisdom, energetics, habits, internal rules, memories and values with its own function, physical expression, health status, emotional needs, abilities and goals. This is true even if the individual is unaware of the force a particular Inner Self is exerting on daily life.
Each Inner Self experiences life in its own way. An example might be an “Angry Inner Self” is expressed through a headache. “The Inner Critic” may generate endless thoughts of self-hate, fueling the need to be perfect. No Inner Self is “better” than another. Every Inner Self is honored as every aspect of the personality is indispensable for wholeness. The goal is never to eliminate an Inner Self, but to integrate the Inner Selves through expanding awareness.
The idea is to awaken and develop an Aware Ego process that evolves into a non-judgmental witness of the Inner Selves, unlocking personal freedom and authenticity as automatic reactions transform into active choices. Voice Dialogue is a powerful, effective life-charging tool!

What will I gain from Inner Voice Dialogue?
|
Nearly everyone has experienced the phenomenon of the alarm clock ringing at 5:30 AM.
Inner struggle ensues. This is a simple demonstration highlighting that we are composed of many Inner Selves, many parts of our personality, which is the basis of the Voice Dialogue method. |

Voice Dialogue is a Jungian based technique developed by the Drs. Stone since the 1970's. The premise is our healthy personality is made up of a family of internal selves or sub-personalities or alter egos or personas.
As we grow up, we identify with some parts of ourselves. This over-identification with some Inner Selves (examples include your Inner Protector or Responsible Self or even your Inner Critic) and rejection of other Inner Selves (like your Lazy Self or Wild Self) creates imbalance, blind spots, stuckness, and a general feeling of not being whole.
Voice Dialogue moves beyond gaining insight. For many, as the secret and powerful intentions of the Inner Selves are revealed through Voice Dialogue facilitation sessions, keys to problem-solving, letting go, gaining courage and more are presented to long unresolved dilemmas.
Inner Voice Dialogue offers hope, especially in the face of loss, and renews your spirit as you explore alter egos and transform. This can move you from a place of despair to savoring a life of joy as you ease towards your potential and contribute to the world in a vital way.
