Often, a helpful aid to #Talkingwithvoices, is to show a voice this feelings & needs sheet and ask them to choose words that best describe how they feel and what they need. It's also good for the voice hearers to do about their feelings & needs #NVC #hearingvoices #VoicedDialogue

Are you over 18 years old and living in the UK?

Contact me on u1945526@uel.ac.uk to discuss participation in my research. Thanks!
