Here’s a clip from one of an actual Video of someone having a “Voice Dialogue” session.
I thought it would be interesting to show you a demo of how to
CONNECT with the “Belonging Self” that wants to fit in
and let go of the past.
Watch the video, and let me know your thoughts about it below!
THE FREE “TCK SELVES” EBOOK
In case you missed it, Kellie and Terry of The Emergent Coach uncovered a list of TCK Selves and wrote a short explanation of how they might show up in your life.
In the e-book, they gave you a useful template with a list of 5 questions you can start using right away to find parts of you that may have been inaccessible.
5 Questions You Can Ask Your Belonging Self.
Here is a short list of questions you can ask any Self:
● Who in me is feeling _______ (sad, loss, happy, special…)
● How do you show up in my life ? When and Why now?
● When were you first born – do you remember?
● What message do you have for me?
● What do you want or need from me right now?
Reports About How Voice Dialogue Is Working For Others
Read those three interesting Case Studies from real people who experienced Voice Dialogue with Emergent Coach.
Case Study #1: Single mom creates a business and pursue meaningful connections.
Artist, anthropologist and college professor, Carol wanted to fully engage her passionate desire to make a living from her art. She was plagued by a Perfectionist/Pusher parts of her who never knew how to prioritize and create action from the endless lists they provided…each item on the list was designed to attend to yet another detail of her life….each one of these items were equally important.
As a single mom, her daily life left little time to open to the creativity that longed to emerge more fully from within her. With the help of Voice Dialogue, she was able to access her lost Planner and Organizer and began to make decisions about what was most important. She was able to turn the volume down on her Perfectionist/Pusher and thus subdue the constant anxiety and debilitating overwhelm she lived with.
With the help of her Planner/Organizer, she was able to put into action a timetable that was reasonable for her to focus more completely on her art. Out of the chaos of indecision she accessed the parts of her that needed to be present so she could create a business, pursue meaningful connections to sell her art and allow an inspired attention and intention for her life.
Case Study #2: Uncovered the selves that sabotaged her desires and persued her dream.
Susan had been unsuccessfully attempting to break into the marketing of musicians business. She had many skills that included managerial capability, huge drive and inspired creativity but could not convert them into a successful business.
In working with Voice Dialogue and attending the Path to Choice class, she uncovered the selves within her that sabotaged her every adult desire. They were children parts who had become frozen from early life experiences and always believed that staying ‘under the radar’ was the safest way to survive.
When Susan heard the concerns of those young parts of her, she was able to see how they blocked her desires for success. She could see how she ran away every time an opportunity for success showed up in her life. When she gained access to the parts of her that knew how to manage success and invited more of her capable entrepreneurial, business Selves into her life, the scared child parts quieted down. Today, she is managing lucrative contracts with businesses and joyfully walking her dream path.
“I learned about my magical and rebellious children parts of me that have been ruling my life, undetected, for many years. It has been such a violent and important discovery that it has literally shaken my foundation. I am grateful to you both for your passion and dedication to this work. I believe that the parts of me that have been revealed through this course were the ones responsible for preventing the changes I have worked so hard for my whole life.” - Susan
Case Study #3: Learned to see her accomplishments free from the loud judgments of her Inner Critic.
Maria was a college educated, community program director for a Latino family-focused organization. She was an outstanding visionary for the organization and took many courses and attended programs designed to grow her leadership qualities. She was the recipient of many awards for her dedication and hard work. In her early 30’s, her accomplishments were well beyond what someone her age might achieve. She had a big part of her who was a Visionary Leader. Yet she suffered from lack of self-confidence and self-esteem that created a growing chasm between her external life experience and her denigrating inner voices.
With the help of Voice Dialogue, she learned to see her accomplishments free from the loud judgments of her Inner Critic. She was able to fully honor her Leader part. She also discovered young, Latino parts of her who were fearful and could not hear the honest praise for who she was and how her visions had contributed to her work. Instead, those parts felt ‘less than’, placated and shameful because of her ethnicity. Voice Dialogue helped her hear the voices that held her back, assisted those young Latino parts of her to come into present time, let go of their old beliefs and learn that her success sourced from her immense capabilities of the Leader in her. When the shamed voices were heard, Maria gained the ability to quiet and parent their concerns. The result was a more peaceful internal experience that allowed her to celebrate her accomplishments and continue growing her Leader parts and expand her personal goals and that of her organization.
The deadline to sign up for Emergent Coach’s TCK Teleclass is October 2, 2008, and they can only take a maximum of 10 people. You can learn more about the TCK Voice Dialogue Teleclass here.
Are you ready to see the world through a totally different lens?
Join The TCK Academy for
A 75 minute interview on August 30 Kellie Poulinand Terry Kinnard of The Emergent Coach will discuss a process called Voice Dialogue. Voice Dialogue is a concept created by Drs. Hal and Sidra Stone that deals with bringing into our awareness the many parts or Selves that make up what we identify as our personality.
For TCK/CCK’s,Voice Dialogue offers a profound, non-judgmental, experiential tool to deal with the parts of you that have developed to help cope with having lived an internationally mobile or cross-cultural lifestyle while growing up.
This interview will NOT be just an interview! Kellie and Terry believe so much in what they do, they will conduct a Live Demonstration of how this process works!
In this demo, Terry and Kellie will be showing how the magic of this experiential tool can help you to embrace the gift of the parts of you that have been lost in the process of coping with constant moving, global exposure, grief and loss as well as issues of repatriation and fitting in.
Through this “language of consciousness” TCKs/CCKs can become acquainted withsome of the Selves that potentially are part of your psychic make-up, as well as helpto shed light on what might be blocked from your view.
” Apart of me feels/wants…”
After my phone session with our guest Kellie, I had so many light bulbs going off in my head, and was so amazed at the results, that I told my mom and all my friends about it!!
Brice Royer
Kellie and Terry will show you how this knowledge can:
·Shift your perspective
·Help you find ‘home’ inside
·Provide the ability to freely choose your path

Practical tools to support effective inner and interpersonal communication.
The power that comes from choosing your actions rather than reacting to old patterns of behavior.

About Tom Query
Highly skilled licensed professional counselor/psychotherapist. Expertise includes extremely difficult populations. Rescue Mental Health Professional with Red Cross in New York Oct/Nov 2001. Worked with survivors and families of the mass murder.
“I am an experienced counselor/ therapist with a first hand knowledge of a wide variety of issues, problems and situations. I am excellent in communication, warm, relational, non-judgmental and direct. I work to hear the issues you are seeking help with. I do not use “psychobabble.” I focus on the “here and now” issues you bring and we will explore what has brought you to this place, what you can do and/or what you can be. When we first meet we will make sure I am the best type of therapist for your concern.
I focus on a person’s/couple’s strengths, not their weaknesses. I do not hesitate to be direct; however, I am welcoming and sensitive to diversity - particularly in faith and spiritual beliefs; race; sexuality; life history choices and family of origin experiences. I wish to create a safe place for you.
I bring a diverse set of skills and experience. I remember what it was like to first seek a counselor. You have to be very brave. I am very proud to work with the people I do. They are all seeking to be stronger and wiser in their living.”

6. How can I not forget and lose my past while moving towards the future?
