Vocal Sound Therapy Support for Codependency
The greatest tool I have found to move the energy of this trauma and trigger is my voice. I have used my voice to soothe the pain, to process the intense energy of grief, pain, helplessness, anger, and frustration, and to voice healthy boundaries. First I started by emptying the emotional energy with vocal sound.
Sound Out The Feelings
It can be vulnerable to do but sounding out dense emotions with vocal tones processes the intensity of the wound energy very well. You can tone on Ah, EE, OO… or just make up a sound you think is the sound of the feeling. It does not have to be loud. You don’t have to strain your voice. It’s simple to sound out the feeling until you notice the tone shift.
Sing a Love Song to Your Wounded Child
Another way I have helped myself with sound is to sing a love song to those wounded inner parts. This can be a lullaby song or just sweet vocal toning with no words. It is so sweet to see your inner wounded parts soften and warm up to you, even hug you.
Write and Say Your Feelings and Boundaries
And lastly, it has been really powerful to write in my journal the boundaries I want to hold for myself, as well as the things the “parts” want to say. Then read them out loud. Your parts are immature and what they would say would not communicate well or be helpful in a real-life situation. So you write it down and read it out loud then burn it. The energy is moved and heard on some level without the extra misunderstanding and drama.
Awareness Tool To Grow Vibrational Wellness
Once you come to clarity about how this codependent nature is, then it is really helpful to use this next awareness tool. When you feel an urge to help or support someone, PAUSE. Then tune in -is this coming from an obligation, from wanting to avoid pain, and rescuing OR is this coming from an authentic calling to be helpful that is not attached to the fear of being rejected?
Once you are clear about your true intention then proceed with the plan to help or the plan to abort the mission and go into meditation and vocal toning to talk to that inner part that was activated again.
I hope these suggestions are helpful to you. Codependency can be a very difficult thing to become aware of and manage as it seems to be offering care and love. But the more you build awareness around it and empty the underlying wound energy, the more free you will become.
I’ve started incorporating parts work into my Awakened Voice Sessions.
