Working with Hostile Voices and Parts of the Personality in Complex Trauma and Dissociative Disorders


Southern Connecticut State University

  501 Crescent Street, Grand Ballroom rm. 313  New Haven CT 

Saturday December 16, 2017    9:00 - 4:15


Many dissociative clients have difficulties with voices or parts that are hostile and critical. One factor that affects this conflict is how the patient deals with the voices or parts of the self. Most approaches to helping people with hostile or critical voices have something to do with either trying to get rid of the voice, such as by taking drugs until it fades away, or trying to ignore the voice or distract attention away from it. One problem with these strategies is that they all involve avoiding issues or emotions the voice may be bringing up. A key aspect to the work with hostile parts of the personality and voices is to understand their function and the meaning behind their disruptive behaviors. In these cases, transforming conflict through dialogue, compassion and understanding is essential. Specific procedures to work with the conflict presenting in these clients, including traumatic experiences will be illustrated through video examples.
  • Are you afraid to process trauma with clients with critical parts? 
  • Are you concerned about clients who hear hostile voices and place themselves in danger? 
  • Do you want to learn dynamic and effective tools to manage hostile parts and voices safely? 


If so, this workshop is for you!
