Therapy with a Voice

Voice is not just sound – it is relational, emotional and embodied. Our voices sit at the intersection between mind, brain, body and culture. Integrating core principles of Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) with dialogic, systemic and narrative approaches, this book positions the voice as central to psychotherapy. The authors show how, by using voice awareness alongside transference mapping and deploying the two with compassion and curiosity, readers can help clients to reclaim silenced or distorted voices and navigate the relational patterns of interaction that shape their own and other’s lives. Accessible yet profound, and rich not only in theory but also in tools for everyday practice, Therapy with a Voice is an invitation to find, own and free our voices, and to discover their power in shaping human connection. It speaks to anyone for whom voice matters in talking, helping, managing and caring for others.
