Working with People Who Hear Voices

In this course, Anisa Varasteh, clinical sexologist and Director of Relate Sexology, explains what non-shared reality is, contextualises the experience of voice-hearing, lists the symptoms of schizophrenia, and explores the relationship between emotions and hearing voices. She debunks several myths about people with schizophrenia, outlines positive aspects of hearing voices, and offers several techniques for responding to clients who are hearing voices, including active listening skills, separating the voice(s) from the person, and employing a collaborative approach.
