Voices

yeah @Queenie thats when kelly comes back. i know she is trying to help me but i cant handle being around her at the moment

Can you come up with a list to practice distraction or self-care while you're experiencing these voices? I know Kelly doesn't invoke the same level of distress as Mark does, so you might want to think about creating different lists for different voices. I do this myself. Some of the self-care/distraction techniques I use might be: listening to loud music, punching a pillow, taking a hot bath, practising mindfulness (when I hear a voice, I recognise it for what it is but try not to get hooked into the thoughts that go along with it- difficult I know- but it helps me sometimes). I sometimes draw what I think my voices would look like when I hear them, you don't have to be arty or creative to do this. I picked up this technique from a hearing voices group.

I've heard recent discussions about voice hearing experiences being connected in some way to past traumas or traumatic events. This has been discussed in detail at voice hearer's congresses all over the World. Makes a lot of sense if you put it that way (well it does for me, as I have several markedly traumatic experiences in my life, starting from when I was a child). What do you make of that?

thats what i have been told to @Queenie with all the past truma of DV and then sexual abuse.

these voices have come form there

so kelly is here

Try and practice some self-care @Bubbles3. Make a list if you need to. It really does help me most of the time!
