The Fundamentals of Voice Dialogue: The Psychology of Inner Selves

CE Hours 2

About this course

This 2-hour webinar introduces clinicians to the principles and practice of Voice Dialogue, an embodied method for working with clients’ inner selves. Participants will engage in experiential exercises—including the Inner Selfie Report, the Energy Memory Exercise, Mapping the Inner Selves, and more—that can be immediately applied in clinical practice and used as between-session assignments for clients. The training highlights how inner selves develop across the lifespan, how energetics reveal shifting parts of the psyche, and how to facilitate clients’ issues including trauma, with compassion and structure. Through practical tools, developmental insights, and stigma-free language, therapists will learn how to foster resilience, reduce judgment of “negative” parts, and help clients integrate new choices in navigating relationships, trauma, life transitions, and entrenched patterns. It opens up new experiential and dialogic techniques (e.g., seat-switching, role exploration) beyond talk therapy, offering clinicians an effective method to revitalize treatment when sessions feel repetitive or stalled. The approach facilitates rapid yet profound shifts in awareness, making Voice Dialogue both transformative and clinically efficient.

Course Instructor(s)

  • Bridgit Dengel Gaspard, LCSW

    Bridgit Dengel Gaspard, LCSW, is an author, Founder of the New York Voice Dialogue Institute, has a thriving private practice and has been a Voice Dialogue Senior Facilitator and Trainer since 2006, supervised by her mentors, the developers Drs. Hal and Sidra Stone. The premise of Voice Dialogue is that our healthy personality consists of many different parts, also called inner selves, alter egos, sub-personalities and personas. Voice Dialogue is internationally recognized as a transformational somatic-based facilitation method that generates constructive change and promotes healthier life choices and engages broader creativity, cognitive flexibility and optimism. By experiencing and naming alter egos in a non-judgmental environment, this strengths-based intervention alleviates symptoms of depression, anxiety, mood swings, substance dependence, compulsions, eating disordered behavior and low self-esteem. The goal is never to eliminate an inner self, but to support integration fostering a greater range of options when making and strategizing life choices. Benefits of Voice Dialogue include clear and innovative thinking, maintaining healthy boundaries as well as new behaviors after breaking a habit, self-acceptance, spontaneity, access to creativity, a sense of humor and authentic expression. For many, as the secret and powerful intentions of the inner selves are revealed, Voice Dialogue is the key to unsolved puzzles that have plagued their life. In 2020 New World Library published her book, "The Final 8th: Enlist Your Inner Selves to Accomplish Your Goals." Bridgit is a former performer, so deep fun is always part of her workshops.
