Voice Dialogue Method

Introduction and Practical Guide Book

personal development | psychology

“Robert Stamboliev shows how knowledge of, and sensitivity to the energetic process is used directly in the practice of Voice Dialogue.”—Hal Stone, Ph.D.

Revised and updated edition with a foreword by Sidra Stone

Voice Dialogue is a method intended for training in self-awareness and transformation of consciousness, but equally valid as an important therapeutic tool. Furthermore, the dialogue method is extremely useful for relationships. It was developed in the 1980s by Hal and Sidra Stone in the U.S. and author Robert Stamboliev received extensive training and mentoring from them before pioneering the method internationally.

Working with this method requires an energetic sensitivity, because the Voice Dialogue voices are energetic patterns you need to tune in to. And if you are coaching you need to tune in on your client. Robert Stamboliev is an internationally acting psychologist, trainer, coach, and relationship therapist. He has incorporated the Voice Dialogue method in his practice for over forty years and has enhanced the energetic aspects of the method.

We often think and act on auto-pilot mode and don’t identify our thoughts and ideas as our own. As a consequence we feel like things are just happening to us. Robert Stamboliev’s energetic work enables us to awake from this dormant state and free ourselves from this conditioning that prevents us from living a free life. Voice Dialogue Method is suited for everyone who is interested in taking back control over their lives and an essential introduction and guide book for facilitators, students, therapists, trainers, and coaches.

The energetic aspects of Voice Dialogue are important for a deep and lasting transformation process that leads to the development of your identity and happiness in life. Stamboliev connects the method with esoteric healing principles and Tai Chi Chu’an.

“An extremely educational and enjoyable book that is immediately applicable. I knew beforehand that Voice Dialogue is an intense process, but how is it different from other methods and how is it put into practice? All is clearly explained and clarified in this book. The author was one of the first students of Voice Dialogue developers Hal and Sidra Stone, introduced their method in Europe, and wrote a wonderful and practical book about it. He succeeds in describing the phenomenon of energetics in a practical manner even though it is not an easy and concrete subject to explain. The book provides an overview of the techniques that are important when working with Voice Dialogue and the examples wonderfully show what a facilitator does, making a Voice Dialogue session really come to life. At the end of the book the author offers exercises to further develop your practical skills. While reading the book I immediately felt the urge to start working with it.”—A.M. Toby, practitioner coach
