In this video, we delve into the common conflicts experienced during voice therapy, particularly the psychological and emotional challenges faced by individuals as their voice changes. We discuss how therapy goals are met, but the new voice may not ‘sound like me’ to the patient, leading to feelings of self-consciousness and resistance.
The video emphasises the importance of acceptance, the role of the therapist in supporting this transition, and the steps needed to build confidence in using a new, improved voice.
