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 behaviour in several different voices and accents, this is called “xenoglossy” and the psychologist in me said she was manifesting behaviour 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 age how to manipulate men, and this
suggested symptoms of sexual abuse from the latency period of 6 to 10 years
of age.

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 from both the Cold War and Guantanamo Bay, 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 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 healing
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, but 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
long path of life's journey.

In this girls case, she responded well and come to terms with the childhood
abuse, and in a mixture of counselling, 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.
