The techniques of Voice Therapy consist of three components: (1) eliciting and identifying negative thought patterns and releasing the associated affect; (2) discussing insights and exploring reactions to verbalizing the voice; and (3) counteracting self-destructive behaviors regulated by the voice through the application of appropriate corrective suggestions. In this phase of treatment, client and therapist attempt to interrupt maladaptive behavior patterns through collaborative planning and suggestions for behavioral change that are in accord with each individual’s personal motivation.
