Dr Jacqui Dillon is an activist, trainer, writer, and speaker specialising in hearing voices, dissociation, trauma, abuse, and recovery. She is the Chair of the Hearing Voices Network in England and a key figure in the international Hearing Voices Movement. Her survival of childhood abuse and subsequent experiences of using psychiatric services inform her work. She is an outspoken advocate and campaigner for trauma-informed approaches to madness and distress. Jacqui is part of a collective voice demanding a radical shift in how we understand and respond to experiences currently defined as psychiatric illnesses. In this episode, Jacqui talks about her experience with hearing voices, her relationship to the voices and the power of community and support in aiding her healing and the healing of many across the world. I think this can be a huge turning point for those listening who are not too knowledgeable about the phenomenon of hearing voices. Jacqui is a really inspiring human and a guest I have wanted for a very long time. Thanks to Jacqui for her courageous work, her time chatting with us, and for listening. Until next time!
