Voice Dialogue Trainings : The POWER of TWO

Dorsey and Neil are a great teaching team! As a therapist and a poet ­ both deeply involved in Voice Dialogue and the Psychology of Selves - each offers a unique contribution. As a couple, they "walk their talk" so that their teaching comes from a rich combination of knowledge, expertise and personal experience. We are delighted to recommend them as teachers of our work.

Fall Trainings for Therapists
Voice Dialogue, Relationships, & the Psychology of Selves
M. Dorsey Cartwright, LPC, LMFT, CCMHC & Neil Meili
Level 1 A – September 16, 17, 18 & Level 1 B – October 15, 16, 17 2005
Part of you is dissatisfied, part of you isn’t. Part of you is compelled to do something, another part say’s you shouldn’t. Part of you cares, part of you doesn’t. Part of you believes, part of you is skeptical. Part of you is afraid, part of you is ready for change – whether you are dealing with these push –pulls within yourself and/ or your clients’, Voice Dialogue is a powerful approach to resolving the angst of inner conflicts.

This training is based on the Psychology of the Selves and the Aware Ego, as developed by Drs. Hal and Sidra Stone* and the Voice Dialogue Method - their unique technique for actually experiencing these selves. This is so important because these selves carry the attitudes and patterns that control much of our lives. Each self has its own energy, feelings, thoughts and needs. These selves are in constant interaction with one another and the selves in other people. They are often the source of both our internal and external power struggles!

You will learn:

v The normal development of the selves, including how your dominant selves developed
v How the selves function in daily life and why you made the life choices that you have
v The archetypal pattern of how these selves interact with each other in relationships.

You will experience:

v A new understanding and appreciation of your own selves
v The magic of speaking directly to the selves in others.
v The simplicity in developing rapport with yours and others “resistances”
v Working with the Aware Ego: a unique, energetic way to balance your inner push-pulls

These trainings offer an opportunity to explore directly the nature of these interactions within yourself and within your relationships. Experiencing from the inside out will enhance your ability you to use this knowledge and method with your clients.
