Connirae: Now let’s find out about what you hear. What sounds are you aware of when you think of the situation?
Bob: I’m aware of the dialogue.
Connirae: And where are you listening from?
Bob: It’s as if I’m listening from way over there. (He gestures in front and to the right, about 15 feet away.)
Connirae: Do you hear what’s actually going on, or is it some commentary about the situation?
Bob: Both.
Connirae: Tell me a couple of sample sentences of the commentary you’re hearing.
Bob: “I’m really stupid. Ican’t believe this.”
Connirae: And where is the commentary voice coming from?
Bob: Around my head (gesturing close to his head, in a semi-circle around the back and sides).
Connirae: OK. So the commentary voice is coming from around your head, using the pronoun “I,” and you’re listening from fifteen feet out to the side. Your voice is almost in Self position, and your ears are in Observer.
(Note: When Bob gestured to where he was listening from, he indicated a spot where an Observer might stand to observe the situation from the outside. However, his commentary voice is very close to his own throat, which is where a Self position voice would be speaking from.)
