Finding Your Voice Workshops
Everyone has a voice
Sometimes life experiences quiet it
Sometimes trauma disconnects us from it
Sometimes we simply forget how powerful it is
These workshops are about reconnecting with that voice.
Meet Susan Crockett-Crave
Psychologist in Clinical Practice
I’m a bit of a Diva, a Psychologist, a Daughter, Sister, Friend, dog lover - a person with many roles and identities, just like everyone else.
Across my life I've also had a deep love of music and performance, alongside my professional work in trauma-informed psychology.
Our voice is an important part of our identify. Yet sometimes trauma, life roles, or self-doubt can quiet that voice.
Music, expression, performance and psychological insight have helped me find - and maintain my own voice.
My workshops bring together both my life experience and my professional passion to create a space where others can reconnect with their voice, confidence and authentic self.
What I Specialize In
Rupture
All relationships involve moments of rupture - experiences where we feel hurt, misunderstood, rejected, or disconnected. For many of us, particularly those who have experienced trauma, these ruptures can reinforce deeply held beliefs such as "I'm not good enough," or "I don't belong" Or "my voice doesn't matter". But we know from neuroscience that healing doesn't come from avoiding rupture, but from experiencing repair.
Repair
When rupture is filled by a genuine experience of reconnection, understanding or validation, the brain begins to update its expectations about relationships and about the self. This process engages the brain's capacity for neuoplasticity - the ability of neural pathways to change a reorganise through experience. In simple terms:
Experiences that repeat together begin to wire together.
Rewire
When people re[eatedly experience safe connection, emotional expression and being heard, the brain gradually forms new neural pathways associate with safety, belonging and self-worth.
Music and voice can play a powerful role in this process.
Singing, listening to music, and shared rhythmic experiences can activate multiple brain networks simultaneously- including emotional, sensory, and social connection systems.
Over time, this can support the development of:
: greater emotional regulation
: improved ability to sense internal bodily states
: increased confidence in your own voice and presence
: and new experiences of connection with others.
The workshops aim to provide an opportunity for participants to explore how new experiences - using performance (mainly mine!) music and song can gradually reshape how they feel about themselves and their capacity to be seen and heard, to connect/reconnect with their own body and feelings.
