Helped me find my true passion in life “Thank you seems so inadequate when I try to estimate how you helped me find my true passion in life. Yes, maybe it was there all the time, just below the surface. But the fact is, until I began working with you as my career coach, I could not see it. I would recommend you to anyone seeking a new career, or for help jump-starting their current career.” —Eileen .F, M.A. Unique perspectives Bud’s unique perspectives have assisted me personally and his views on intuition and change have contributed greatly to our development of innovative training programs.” —Nancy B, M.A. |

Voice Dialogue itself is one element in the model of consciousness created and evolved by Drs. Hal & Sidra Stone over the last three decades. During a Voice Dialogue session the facilitator may speak with one or more Selves. The Selves occupy different physical spaces in the room allowing the participant and the facilitator to have a deeper experience of each Self, to learn about the concerns, rules, needs and history particular to that Self. This information is often amazingly clear and previously unknown by the conscious mind of the participant. A Voice Dialogue session allows one to separate from both the Primary Selves (who we usually think we are) and the Disowned Selves (usually found in those we dislike or idolize), developing what we call an Aware Ego Process. This is the place that can stand between the demands and needs of the different Selves, yet hold the awareness of both. Voice Dialogue is an energetic process and it is an amazing feeling to be both witness and participant in one’s life, even for just a moment able to embrace the wider range of who one is. It is through a relationship with and an understanding of these Selves that compassion and true self-acceptance emerges. As one becomes more engaged with the Aware Ego Process, humor, recognition, curiosity, empathy, connection, appreciation, healing and a sense of freedom for oneself and others grows exponentially and organically. It must be said that the Voice Dialogue process is not therapy. As the originators Hal and Sidra Stone, PhD’s have suggested, “Voice Dialogue is a communication tool as well as a method of getting to know ourselves better. It is neither a psychotherapeutic system nor a substitute for appropriate psychotherapy when this is indicated.” For a more in-depth exploration into this process, you may want to go directly to Hal and Sidra Stone’s, PhD’s website at www.delos-inc.com for numerous articles and various resources regarding this psycho-spiritual process. It is really remarkable “I just want you to know how much I am getting out of this process of doing Voice Dialogue with you. |
