Voice Activated

The title for this section comes from one of our therapists. This therapist often uses a “voices in your head” analogy with clients as a way of externalizing their thoughts about their concerns. In many cases the conflict is essentially “voice activated” as clients are asked to verbally enact any dissonance or ambivalence they have about making the changes they seek.

In this “Voice Activated” section of Help Yourself we offer reading material suggested by staff as a means of engaging emotions and thought. We suggest you read this material with attention to any emotional response or parallels with your own life experiences.

Itself: by Michelle Castleberry - Click to read

Winston Churchill personified his experience of depression by calling it his “black dog.” That prompted this poem, which was my attempt to address anxiety with a similar metaphor. –Michelle Castleberry
