Is that a coincidence? –
I have just boarded the train, three days of congress are behind me, many impressions want to be summarized. "The Song of the Sirens" was the title of the symposium organized by the Working Group for Analytical Body-Related Psychotherapy ACP in Vienna.
"Hearing – Speaking – Voice – Resonance" were the keywords. The manageable group of participants allowed stimulating personal encounters. The sophisticated contributions and workshops showed how diverse the topic is. The voice in therapeutic communication – touching practical examples prove its importance.
So now I'm sitting on the train and opening my laptop. Important impressions need to be recorded, notes to be evaluated. At the table opposite, a lady is plugging her laptop into the socket and also unpacking a pad with notes. Mobile office community, so to speak. She comes from a congress, she says, and wants to quickly work through her notes. The Milton Erickson Society would have hosted a great conference on topics related to the topic Hypnotherapy . And there would have been a very interesting workshop on the topic of "Voice in Hypnotherapy".
Is that a coincidence? Two congresses, simultaneously in Vienna, and here as there the importance of the voice is emphasized? Just a coincidence? I'm sure: no. The voice has become an issue. Today, many more people are aware that it is useful to deal with the acoustic calling card of the human being. That voice works.
In 2004 it was quite different. Then came stimme.at. It was only five years ago that Ingrid Amon and I have launched the "European Network of Voice Experts". In the meantime, seventy colleagues are working on "lobbying for the voice". This year, the Internet platform is celebrating www.stimme.at her fifth birthday.
