The most effective modality for transformation I have found, one I use both personally and professionally in my practice as a psychologist, is Voice Dialogue, Relationships and The Psychology of Selves.

Professional Background
In 2010, I published a book called,"LASTING Transformation: A Guide to Navigating Life's Journey". There are a number of chapters on the Aware Ego process, and Voice Dialogue. Hal and Sidra wrote the forward: "Fine wine must be aged properly. It cannot be rushed, but must wait, fermenting in the proper way and for the proper amount of time. Only then can we experience that wonderful sense of well-being as we inhale the exquisite aroma and sip the first delicious sip. Although we are not true wine connoisseurs, it was this image that came to us as we thought about Abby Rosen and this fully matured book, LASTING Transformation. We have known Abby Rosen for a very long time. She brings to the transformational table a long and varied life of fermentation. She has always been a worldly person, grounded in the material realities of living and family and work and business. On the other side, she has been, from early in her life, a woman of spirit; always searching for the deeper meaning, the higher intelligence, and finding ways to access this other dimension of consciousness. She is also a senior Voice Dialogue teacher and facilitator and this has provided an important contribution to the development of her overall philosophy of life and healing and her approach to the transformational process. It is quite natural for this book to emerge out of Abby’s long experience as a psycho-spiritual therapist and teacher as well as her experience as a woman of the world. It is perfect timing—just the right amount of maturation—in many different ways. From the depths of her unconscious came the message that the wine was ready. The title of the book came to her in a dream and she refers to this experience in the Introduction to the book as a “download from the Universe.” That is how it works for people who have allowed themselves to gradually ripen in these spheres and experiences that combine the worlds of earth and spirit. They don’t need to chase after wisdom any longer; it seems to emerge more and more in the form of “downloads from the Universe.” The book itself is actually two different books, woven into a single tapestry of earth and spirit. Stage One refers to what Abby calls “Life-Lesson Therapy.” Stage Two refers to “Soul-Wisdom Therapy.” The book is very personal and, at the same time, an objective and practical manual for moving along one’s own transformational path. It seems very important to us that people understand the inseparable nature of learning practically about living life in a physical body on the planet earth while, at the same time, reaching out and embracing the transpersonal selves that thirst for union with spiritual realities. All of us are struggling with these opposites, sometimes more successfully than other times. Living between opposites of all kinds is very hard work and we need all the help we can get, especially when it comes to the challenge of embracing heaven and earth. So we welcome Abby Rosen’s book and we are pleased that the complex process of fermentation is at an end. It is now time for everyone to taste the fruits of a life well lived and a book well written." Sidra Stone, PhD and Hal Stone, PhD, Albion, California
