    99. Using Your Voice to Set the Frame in the Therapy Session

    In this episode, Brenda shares more details about how therapists may use their voice in their intentions to set-up a calm and safe environment for patients. There is research that shows therapists intentionally do attempt to modify their voice prosody to this aim. Brenda offers reflections on how this might work, and provides an opportunity for listeners to further consider how and why this might work for them to do in their own practices.

    98. Emotional Variety is an Indicator of Attachment Style

    In today’s episode, Brenda explores a study that documents how adults with different attachment styles do display different emotional variances, as reflected by voice prosody, when reflecting on positive and negative experiences from their childhoods. This experience is likely to be something we all have experienced, but is especially relevant for mental health practitioners. She shares some potential interventions to support someone in expanding their emotional expression.

    97. Before You Understand What You Hear, You Feel It

    In this episode, Dr. Murrow describes some research to validate the common experience of sensing someone’s emotions even before the words are fully understood in a message. She validates why this knowledge is extremely relevant to the practice of mental health, and provides some reflections for practitioners to consider when they hear it in their work.

    96. Assessing Readiness for Interventions by Listening to Voice Prosody

    Brenda breaks down an experience most therapists have and reinforces their intuitions about what to do next. As she describes, when someone begins therapy in a state of hyper-alertness, it is important to know when their non-verbal cues signal that their social engagement system is active. Interventions are most effective when the client is in a nervous system state that enables social engagement, and Brenda explains how therapists can assess that via voice prosody, and she also shares the ways she supports this outcome during session.
