Schizophrenia Q&A LIVE 15/03/2026 These livestreams are open conversations about schizophrenia, psychosis, recovery, and the realities of living with unusual experiences. Viewers bring questions about voices, paranoia, diagnosis, medication, trauma, philosophy of mind, and the practical challenges of everyday life. Rather than presenting neat answers or clinical authority, the aim is to think through these questions together — drawing on lived experience, research, and careful reflection. Many people affected by psychosis struggle to find spaces where their experiences can be discussed without stigma or simplification. These sessions try to create that space: thoughtful, respectful, and curious. Topics that often come up include: hearing voices and unusual beliefs recovery and coping strategies the meaning of diagnosis trauma and life history philosophical questions about mind and reality navigating mental health systems Nothing here replaces professional advice. These conversations are for education, reflection, and community. If you’re living with these experiences yourself, you’re not alone.

They really want me dead
They battle and shout
Just want to get out
And I’m just full of dread.”

“It Felt Good to Be Able to Say That Out Loud”—Therapeutic Alliance and Processes in AVATAR Therapy for People Who Hear Distressing Voices: Peer-Led Qualitative Study Background: AVATAR therapy is a novel psychological therapy that aims to reduce distress associated with hearing voices. The #Approach involves a series of therapist-facilitated dialogues between a voice-hearer and a #Digital embodiment of their main distressing voice (the avatar), which aim to increase coping and self-empowerment. Objective: This study explored therapeutic processes that are distinctive to AVATAR therapy, including direct early work with voice content and the role of the therapist in dialogue enactment. Methods: People with lived experience relating to psychosis (peer researchers) contributed to each stage of the study. Peer researchers led semistructured interviews, which were conducted with 19 participants who received AVATAR therapy as part of the AVATAR2 trial, including 3 participants who dropped out of therapy. Data were analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (n=5) and template analysis (n=14). Results: Participants described the initial challenges of experiential work with distressing voice content; however, most reported a meaningful increase in power and control over the course of dialogues and improvements with voices in daily life. A strong therapeutic alliance was experienced by all participants, including those who chose to discontinue therapy, often mitigating the discomfort associated with initial challenges by enhancing their sense of safety. Several important themes relating to individual engagement were highlighted, such as the emotional intensity of the experience and the importance of participants’ determination and open-minded attitudes despite initial doubts. Those who decided not to continue with therapy described challenges with the realism of working dialogically with a #Digital representation of their distressing voice. Conclusions: This study has provided a deeper understanding of the experience of engaging in AVATAR therapy, in particular the challenges and opportunities of direct work with voice content. The importance of therapeutic alliance and establishing a sense of voice presence has been emphasized. Implications for the planned optimization and wider implementation of AVATAR therapy in routine care settings are discussed.
