This is an interesting article that deals with “Acute psychosis: inner voices and avatar therapy”

It has an audio script of people who take avatar therpay and lose the voices.

Man, I’d give it a shot if it is available here. I can’t really see much downside and it’s all upside if it works.

I’ve been posting about this on and off for nearly 9 years. Here’s a post from 2016 :

i listened to the audio file and it is an interesting listen.

first the voice hearer selects and builds ann avatar, gives descriptions of what the voices say, then the AI and the therapist work inn tandem to replicate the voice (s) character.

Then the voice hearer converses with the AI and the therapist. They reckon it takes 13 or so sessions and it has remarkable results.

It gives real life examples of people in which it worked for them.

It has now. Listen to the podcast as proof.

That would mean clicking on the Guardian article though! (Shock, horror)
