Course Descriptions
36hr Training in the Method of Voice Dialogue
36 CONTACT HOURS, IN-PERSON, with Yolanda Koumidou
Voice Dialogue, based on the theory of the Psychology of Selves, is a method by which we contact the many different sub-personalities, or “selves,” residing in our psyche impacting our lives. It is a highly effective tool that allows psychotherapists to rapidly gain awareness of their clients’ inner selves and guide their journey toward conscious living. The method broadens the practitioner’s skills to enhance decision making abilities in their clients by helping them identify which part of their personality is making the decisions. Insights and behavioral realizations achieved while using this technique are permanent; it is very difficult to regress to a lesser state of awareness. An additional benefit of this tool is that it can be incorporated into any other psychological system. The method of Voice Dialogue was created by the internationally renowned psychologists Drs. Hal and Sidra Stone and practiced around the world.
