Hearing a voice when no-one is present with you, or which other people with you cannot hear, is considered to be a hallucination. This does not make it abnormal it’s just a word for a perception you may have that is not shared by those around you. You may also see things that others cant see. You may experience touch, smell or taste sensations which you cannot account for in usual everyday ways. Some people may not realise that many other people do not have such experiences.
This course aims to look at the range of sensory perceptions people may have and attempts to normalise these by looking at the range of factors that may contribute to people experiencing them. It will also consider ways to support people to live with these sensory perceptions by considering the range of options and support available to them.
