Someone You Know Hears Voices: A Lecture by Gregory Shankland

https-cdn-evbuc-com-images-24783619-153282319614-1-original-jpg

The most frustrating thing about the hearing voices experience (all hallucinations) is the difficulty in describing it and talking about it pragmatically. The experience is confusing and not shared by others who struggle to relate. The associated stigma does not encourage dialogue or seeking help. Relationships suffer, progress in life becomes difficult and independence is lost impacting the voice hearer and friends and family alike.

Come and learn about:

  • What the experience is like for the hearer – how anomalous inputs lead to unhelpful beliefs
  • Language and a framework for dialogue
  • Showing empathy and creating hope in a brighter future
