An estimated 8 million Americans will hear voices at some point during their adult lives (rates are higher in children).  Nearly 90% of them have also experienced trauma.  


This session will explore the following:
1. How looking at the deeper meaning and messages of voices can assist us in empowering trauma survivors.  

2. It will also introduce healing modalities and coping strategies for dealing with distressing voices that can create real change in survivors' relationship to voice-hearing.  

3. Finally, the session will cover concrete ways to avoid re-traumatization in therapeutic relationships with voice-hearers.

About Presenter, Cindy Marty Hadge:
Cindy Marty Hadge is a Lead Trainer for the Wildflower Alliance and Hearing Voices USA. Cindy is an international trainer and keynote speaker.

Cindy spent many years struggling with trauma, and distressing voices, while receiving treatment from a mental health system that was at times helpful but was also frequently injurious. 

Cindy is now creating a life she finds worth living through a belief in a Loving Higher Power and creating space for herself and others to heal. In doing so all her struggles have meaning and value.
