Voice Dialogue

Hal and Sidra Stone first developed the voice dialogue process in 1972. It has continued to evolve ever since, and their website includes an abundant set of resources and training opportunities. Building on the line from Walt Whitman's poem, "I am large, I contain multitudes", the Stones include the following paragraph on their website describing their goals and process:

"Each of us 'contains multitudes'. We are made up of many selves, identifying with some and rejecting others. This over-identification with some selves and the loss of wholeness that comes from the rejection of others, can create imbalances and blind spots. This work is about embracing all the selves. This dance of the selves is an amazing process and we see the dynamics of the world around us shift as our internal world changes."

In addition to a live "dream room", their website includes many articles and resources. Some of the titles includes: "The Basic Elements of Voice Dialogue, Relationship and the Psychology of Selves their Origins and Development, The Dance of the Selves in Relationship, The Inner Critic, A Professional Point of View -- the Psychology of Selves, Voice Dialogue -- Discovering Our Selves, Judgment and What to Do with It, and Partnering: A New Kind of Relationship."

I encourage you to check out the website and see what it has to offer.
