Project with input from @AmybHardy, Sarah Bendall ( @orygen_aus) and @RossellSusan. The therapy was based on the idea that voices may reflect trauma-related memories. We worked with ppl who saw a link btwn their voices and a trauma. 2/5
The therapy, used in PTSD, involved processing the traumatic memories to observe the effect on voices. Voices reduced on average after therapy, with a large estimated average effect (d=0.99). In 15 people, 2 said their voices had completely gone 1 month after therapy. 3/5
These preliminary findings are useful in establishing proof-of-concept that therapy for trauma can reduce #hearingvoices. However a larger controlled study would be needed to determine efficacy of this way of working 5/5
