INTERVOICE: The Hearing Voices Movement

We seek to enable voice hearers troubled by their experience to change their relationship and attitude to their voices and to take up their lives again. We also want to ensure that our innovatory approach is better known by professionals, family members and friends. We have spent the last 20 years trying to better understand why some people can cope with the experience and others can't. We have discovered that those people who are not able to cope with their voices, on the whole have not been able to cope with the traumatic events that lay at the roots of their voice hearing experience. Many voices can be unthreatening and even positive. 

 "It's wrong to turn this into a shameful problem that people either feel they have to deny or to take medication to suppress." - Professor Marius Romme
