Voice Dialogue • Group Demonstration & Interventions Marty Simpson Revell, LMFT, CSAT Sexual Recovery Institute Los Angeles mrevell@thesri.com
Without “Aware Ego” • Primary Selves on autopilot • Disowned Selves operating unconsciously • Not choosing - choices are predetermined by these forces • When we try to remove our disowned parts we drive them further into our unconscious where we are less able to control them and they become MORE POWERFUL
Valueuseful at all levels of insight • little insight - discover parts of themselves • shame reduction & self-compassion • some insight - explore what’s disowned • recovery steps & greater range of options, internal boundaries • good insight - dialogue with parts • right brain, experiential, unconscious • corrective emotional experience
Pulling in all togetherDr. Richard Schwartz • Dr Schwartz - Question, “How do we do this in 50 min session? • different than IFS: Voice Dialogue talking directly to the part (Right brain work, unconscious) • work with the part that protects first - Primary part • “Only model that has the client self- lead”
Pulling it all togetherDrs. Ginger and Bill Bercaw • need to teach clients to access the young parts of themselves & how to reparent and repair the traumatized parts • Creating a coherent narrative (what has and hasn’t worked, why you are the way you are, bringing the unconscious conscious) is essential for couples in recovery to understand and repair the damage
Pulling it all togetherDr. Rory Reid & Gretchen Blycher • Positive correlation between Mindfulness and favorable patient outcomes • brought up the importance of self-compassion and developing mindfulness in addiction recovery; not ignoring, but developing a mindful curiosity about the cravings in addiction.
Pulling it all togetherAlex Katehakis • Where changes happens is in the Primary Process of the brain. (Panksepp & Biven) Dialoguing with parts gives clients an experience of each part - very right brained work • “Until you bring the unconscious to consciousness, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” • - Carl Jung
Dialoguing ExerciseThe part that wants to be here & the part that would rather be somewhere else • facilitator - • Ask permission to interview each part • start with most primary part • be curious/comment on verbal and non-verbal cues • speak in the 3rd person about the client • client - • shift your chair a bit to inhabit the place that part wants to be • speak from the viewpoint of just that part • when in a part try to speak about yourself in the 3rd person
