Nicki Kennedy Voicecast: Conversations around voice, stories, sound and identity

Voice, and the Problems of Self Protection: PART 2

Send us a message

We continue the conversation we started in Part 1, and go on to talk about how fear, safety, and habit can shut down a healthy-looking voice and how to restore freedom with calm breath, gentle exposure, and compassion. Functional voice loss, hypersensitivity, and clear boundaries between coaching and therapy shape a humane approach to vocal change.

• the guarded larynx and fear avoidance loop 
• resilience as faster return to baseline 
• hypersensitivity, globus and the close-cough cycle 
• desensitising with calm breath and small wins 
• functional neurological voice loss and conflict over speaking out 
• a case of lost high range resolved through joyful sound 
• ethics, scope of practice and supervision 
• teamwork across clinic, coaching and therapy 
• kindness over public shaming to unlock authentic sound

Drop us a line, be in touch, and until we meet again, I hope that your voice finds the space it needs to be really heard
