Introduction To Vocal Psychotherapy
Thursday 8th September 2022, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)
Vocal Psychotherapy is a new model of music psychotherapy which uses the breath, natural sounds, songs and vocal improvisation.
Vocal Psychotherapy takes place within a client therapist relationship and promotes intrapsychic and interpersonal growth and change.
I believe the voice is the primary instrument and the reasons for this belief will be discussed and illuminated.
This presentation will also describe the genesis of this model and include experiential games and exercises that will further clarify aspects of vocal psychotherapy.
Examples of vocal holding and free associative singing, two of the main methods of this model, will be played and discussed along with adaptations that are possible.
There will be time at the conclusion for Q&A.
