Voice is central to human experience and integral, while invisible, to the therapeutic process. Voice attunement opens therapists’ ears to deepen perception, connection, and intention with clients. Through a gestalt lens, we will explore voice as a window to inner states and processes using discussion, experientials, case examples, and demonstrations. Clinicians at all levels, as well as others, can benefit from exploring the nature of voice.

Objective:

1. Understand the connection of voice, body tensions, and defenses.
2. Learn to use vocal cues to hear clients with greater attunement.
3. Learn to use your voice to nurture rapport, support, and co-regulation.
4. Access voice as an additional channel to inform therapeutic interventions.
