About the course
“Voices are not a sign of madness but a reaction to problems in their lives that they couldn’t cope with…that the voices talk about problems they haven't dealt with- and that they therefore make sense” Marius Romme et al (2009)
This two-part course is for those interested to learn more about the experience of hearing voices that others cannot. Together we will develop a greater understanding of this experience, consider explanations, and cultivate a compassionate approach to acceptance and recovery.
Learning Objectives:
• To understand hearing voices from the Hearing Voices Network perspective
• To consider ways of accepting voices
• To explore coping strategies when living with voices
This course takes place over six hours in two sessions.
