In this video, Dr. Phil works with someone claiming to be possessed and spiritually raped, etc.. I think this is a very useful tool for those that have come on here with these experiences and Dr.Phil goes on about this in a wonderful way. She is clearly somewhat shocked at the end because her previous intentionally or unintentional beliefs were deconstructed. She appears offended she does not want to say that she has perhaps been wrong her whole life about understanding herself. The people surrounding her condoned it. They also don’t want to face what the actual problem is. Dr. Phil starts by saying a part of him believes her, so as to actually work her out of her delusions.
There’s other more blunt ways that can be done but overall I think this is really worth sharing.

The comments are helpful as well. Her experiences with herself are real in her mind, but it’s something she is allowing and creating. A person can in fact stop this garbage completely. They just have to admit it.
Taking accountability goes for all parts of ourselves. No one is going to actively try to rescue most people from delusions unless they want to be. If I were talking to her I’d simply say you’re making it up, and it’s all in your head. If you believe you’re possessed and that holy water will have the effect it has been taught to you as, you can easily create that experience in your mind. A part of me would also want to slap her and tell her to shut up and get over it, that would be effective in the moment and probably not wrong. But fewer long term results.
