Who is Robert Stamboliev?
Since 1983 I’ve put the Voice Dialogue method on the map in Europe and founded the Institute for Transformational Psychology (ITP) in 1988. The educational and training programs of the ITP have been developed under my guidance, in interaction with a selection of trainers and students.
Next to that I have developed leadership programs for various organizations and I also enjoy facilitating the development of excellence of process workers (trainers, coaches, therapists, managers and teachers).

Voice Dialogue: The Method explained
How does Voice Dialogue work?
In Voice Dialogue the various selves are invited to speak freely, to manifest themselves with all their energy. Freely means without interference of the ego, which often identifies itself with critical subpersonalities, like the “controller” and the “critic”.
With Voice Dialogue one can go as ‘deep’ as one likes, but also as ‘high’ as one can reach, as ‘low’ and as ‘far’ as one dares. It is the exploration of our inner space, in which both heaven and earth have their place. The ultimate goal of the training is to get to know ourselves in all dimensions, to acquire more possibilities of choice from an increasingly aware ego.
As a result, the ensuing shift in our energy patterns also changes consciousness. This changing view of ourselves alters our possibilities for relationships and our place in the world.
What are the benefits of Voice Dialogue?
The Voice Dialogue process can create rapid changes in the client. Here are some of the benefits:
- Insight into your behaviour, feelings and choices.
- Find out which selves are running your life, relationships and career and which selves deserve some more attention.
- Develop the ability to make conscious and free choices by becoming free from your old habits.
- Gain a more centred and inclusive sense of who you are, through embracing various and opposite sides of your personality.
- Become aware of your whole humanity - be it rational, emotional, material, spiritual, pleasing, parental or childlike.
- Learn from your relationships: the way you bond with and judge others will teach you many things about who you are.
- Improve your romantic relationships by recognising when you are stuck in old patterns and become able to navigate these before your relationships fall apart.
- Greater ability to face the challenges of parenting. You’ll be more aware of the emerging selves in your child and the way your personality determines the personality and behaviour of your child.
- Develop a sensitivity towards the energies of yourselves and others. Learn to use these energies more consciously and set boundaries far more easily.

Didactics
The learning method used is the method of Self Directed Learning. This is connected to the process oriented approach of Voice Dialogue. Participants are stimulated to indicate what they need for their own learning. In order to facilitate this process sequence and parts of the program can be changed if necessary. It does not mean that the organization of this training program does not have a clear picture in mind of what the end result of the program should be.
