Recognizing and Responding to Dissociation The Agentic Voice

- Health & Fitness
In episode 7, Recognizing and Responding to Dissociation, co-hosts Kristen Ruiz and Geneva Mayne talk with special guest, Dr. Elisa Monti, about how voice care workers can recognize and respond to dissociation within a trauma-informed approach. Dissociation can occur on its own or be a symptom of PTSD and functional neurological disorder with communication symptoms such as muscle tension dysphonia. The four assumptions of a trauma-informed approach are: realizing the prevalence of trauma, recognizing signs and symptoms of trauma, responding in policies, practices and procedures, and resisting re-traumatization. You can see examples of dissociation in the You’ll Say Nothing documentary bonus material.
Dr. Monti is a voice-specialized experimental psychologist with a PhD from The New School for Social Research. In addition to the Voice and Trauma Research and Connection Group and the documentary, You’ll Say Nothing, you can learn more about Dr. Monti and her work at Monti Bianchi Performance Wellness.
