Voice Dialogue is a very inovative and exciting process that needs no special tools. It is also known as “The Psychology of the Selves.”
We are made up of a number of different sub-personalities that we call selves or voices. Each aspect of the personality has a different view of the world for they are like different persons, so we behave differently in different situations. We can only use one sub-personality at a time.
We don’t have one voice but many. The most powerful of these are call the Primary Selves. When we are unconscious of the power of each voice, we are often run by them: often several different voices crowd in on each other because we have not been aware enough to be in charge. Voice dialogue u enable us to become aware of each of our primary selves, and separate them, this allows an Aware Ego to be formed and expand upon.
Each voice has been developed to support and protect our vulnerability, but the more they are needed the stronger they get. Each was used for survival at the time, but a voice that takes us over in an extreme way can be very dangerous. For example, an extreme Pusher could drive you to death, as it has no compassion. Working with the voices helps us to be more aware of our self responsibilities..
We are born completely open and vulnerable, in this state we cannot survive. At the same time, in this vulnerability we carried our psychic fingerprint. Instinctively those that surround each baby protect it by adding other voices, our primary voices. In response to its surroundings the small child gathers up more voices to support it. So the cautious voice or the rebel, the pleaser, the anxious voice or the playful child is added. Many lesser-used voices are called on from time to time or only added to our collection at different times in our lives. We each form our own collection which stay with us at one level or another for life. By adulthood we have become very comfortable with them and allow them a lot of space in our lives and feel they are “us.” The voices define who we are.
If you consider the opposites to each primary self you will find your Disowned energies, which were in childhood so unacceptable they were shoved into the shadow. (“The Crucible Centre”)
