Hello,

Last week in a session, my therapist told me she noticed a few times recently then I'm talking, my voice changes. It sounds young. She asked had I noticed this and I hadn't. She said its nothing to worry about, it's like a younger part/side of me is getting something out of the conversation and joining in, sort of, and that its s good thing.

Thinking about it since. I just wondered does this happen to anyone and what your therapist does/says? Is it something that just happens? Sorry hope it's ok to ask X

I think my voice and my whole mannerisms change but I can't stop it before it does. I just notice after a short while. T has never commented but seems to change how she interacts with me.
Thanks for this!

I notice my voice change to a younger voice every once in awhile. It's usually when I'm either hurting or when I'm playful. Makes sense to me. When I'm hurting, I want to be cared for like a child, and when I'm playful I'm more like a child. Doesn't bother me except that when I notice it, I worry it might be a little too high pitched.

I don't get younger as far as I know, but the woman has said I can sound even more detached than usual when talking about some things. I took it as a plus and went on.

My therapist mentioned it once--as something that happens when I talk about a certain family member--but I don't know the purpose of her saying that, as it was nothing more than a flat, cold observation. Nothing was said beyond that.

Not my voice necessarily but my body language changes. My T picked up on it a couple times but said it was ok.

My t always comments on my voice changes, at first I found it very frustrating and that it interrupted my trail of thoughts. I did challenge her on it and she said that by pointing it out it gives me awareness to my different parts and what they need, now it makes sense and I think it depends on how the t mentions it. My t has the sensitivity of Dracula and related it back to me by saying my voice is whiny.
