#2 – Finding Meaning in Hearing Voices
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Hearing voices or seeing things others don’t is something many people misunderstand. In this episode, we explore a different view-that these experiences can be meaningful, and often make sense in the context of someone’s life.
We talk about how extreme mental states can be a human response to difficult or overwhelming situations, and how people can learn to live with and even grow from these experiences.
Trevor joins us with years of experience in social psychiatry. He’s worked closely with the Hearing Voices and Recovery movements, supporting people to understand their experiences rather than simply trying to shut them down.
He’s set up Hearing Voices Groups in Denmark and beyond, creating spaces where people can share, reflect, and find their own meaning.
The focus throughout is on building new relationships with these experiences, ones that support confidence, choice, and hope.
