Description
Relating to Voices: A Self-help Companion for Voice-Hearers and Their Supporters. This book offers a compassionate approach to understanding and working with voices. Charlie Heriot-Maitland and Eleanor Longden provide a supportive tone for readers and a respectful tone for their voices, guiding them towards a more peaceful relationship. The authors' Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) approach suggests that voices can be viewed as potential allies in emotional problem-solving, rather than enemies. The book includes regular check-in boxes to help readers explore what voices are, what they may represent, and how to learn to work with them. This approach may be different from other methods that focus on challenging, suppressing, or distracting from voices. By adopting a more cooperative mindset, readers can develop a more positive relationship with their voices and themselves. This self-help companion is suitable for voice-hearers, their supporters, and mental health professionals looking for a new perspective on working with voices.
