Dissociative Identity Disorder
T Stokes
A beautiful young girl in her early thirties turned up at the alternatives
clinic without an appointment, and presenting with some strange symptoms
claiming she needed an urgent exorcism.
My immediate colleague said do whatever is necessary to quieten her down and
get her out of here.
With me trying to take some coherent notes, she exhibited hysterical
behavior in several different voices and accents, the psychologist in me
said she was manifesting behavior patterning from some early trauma, while
the psychic in me said this bore many of the hallmarks of genuine spirit
possession.
In backing off and telling her I would study her notes and call her back at
a later date, she began flirting with me in quite a provocative manner, the sexual content
here, powerfully charged with its youthful energies, made me realize that
she had learnt at an early how to manipulate men, and this suggested
symptoms of early sexual abuse.
Desperate people often form gripping relationships with their therapists in
a needy manner with a deep sexual nucleus.
The difficulty is, these people have often experienced through their lives much
Abandonment anxiety, and for a therapist to also abandon them can further
enhance their pain.
They can see you as a lifeline to a drowning person, and they can cling to
you in the throes of their torment, and will do literally anything to
maintain that bond.
With early sexual abuse similar symptoms are expressed as with studies on
agents tortured during the Cold War, they create in their minds a special
place where they go, when the awful acts are committed on them, over a
period of time the separate energies form a nucleus of their own and can in
some instances become separate personalities, the main difficulties with
exorcists is to decipher which is the basic crux of the problem,
Is it outside spirit intervention ? or is it internal multiple personality
syndrome? Or is it both ?
The one determining factor is that these people are split apart, and getting
them back together can be a long process, the thing they crave is love and
acceptance of who they are, accepting is the easy part, and the love we
offer must be paternal only.
The clinic is very forward looking and we have found spiritual healing to
play an important part in the healing cycle, this is a controversial aspect
with many professionals who have to deal with those battle damaged on the
path of life's journey.
In the case of this girl, she responded well and come to terms with the
childhood abuse, and in a mixture of counseling, gentle exorcism and
spiritual healing, I was thrilled to hear our beautiful friend goes swimming once a week and is
no longer afraid to show her body, she tells us she is studying to be an
architect and comes into the clinic each Friday lunchtime and makes us tea
and biscuits.
We believe in an open door policy where a welcome is an essential part of
the bonding process of healer and the healed.
