Current therapist now convinced my issues are spiritual and not mental. U G H. She is like the third one now to say that. It’s too confusing for me. I feel horrible like some sort of cult leader that sucks people into my delusions by talking about them. I feel like I can’t talk about them at all. At the same time it also makes me question reality again. There’s so much I can’t explain. Anyways. Yeah badly conflicted right now.

In what way did she say your problems were spiritual? What kind of therapist is she?

Normal therapist specializing in emdr and trauma therapy. I just started telling her about my most recent issues and then out of nowhere she starts saying she doesn’t think I have psychosis or DID or anything and thinks I’m an empath and in a spiritual battle and I should get energy work. Literally out of nowhere she hadn’t brought up anything like that before.
She thinks evil things are attached to me. I look to my therapists as my primary grounding sources where I can talk about all the chaos I go through and then have them bring me back to the world so it is greatly disturbing to me when this happens.

Maybe look for a new therapist and ask them if they believe in ghosts or demons??
If they say no it could prevent this from happening again

That is so horribly bad. I am a bad j---- a— of a person because I am laughing because that is so bad.
I am very sorry. Is this the first time you ever seen her? Hoping for your sake she is just trying to be agreeable and is just feeling out what direction to take this.
One of my other ones said she thought I had a “profound spiritual gift” or something like that.
Swear to God I am so confused. And that f**** demon is back and hurt me. It had its hand around my neck during the session. Went to go sit in the empty chair you could audibly hear something sit down like the leather squeaking. Then it started tapping its fingers/claws whatever and there was just this tap tap tap tap tap tap
This is very bad. This is not good. I feel like death.
No I’ve been seeing her 2 months and she never said anything about it!!
Maybe she was just testing the water, so to speak, with that remark. Do you get the feeling she doubts you experience reality during waking hours?
By this I mean yes, some of us have delusions, but we dont make decisions based on delusions.
I think she may have been checking to see.
they can lose their medical license for that.
Go see a different therapist immediately.
She seems dangerous.

Seroquel actually increases dopamine at low doses, if maybe why you are having strange dreams at night, you may be better taking Trazodone and Lorazepam to help you sleep instead.
I think you do have a mental illness and that it not caused by the spirits.

Feel better because I finally left the house and people were kind to me and made me laugh. Random strangers. Swear it’s like people can tell sometimes. I was stuck in that dark place again.

She recommended me to an energy healer friend of hers and went on and on about how it worked for her and her daughter and made a big difference for them and one of her other clients so I don’t think she was bluffing unfortunately

All I can say is, I am hoping you get someone who doesnt re-inforce what ever delusions they believe you to have.
I apoligize if I offended anyone with first post/reaction.

that is absolutely bizarre. its almost as bad as this time this one therapist was convinced my problems stemmed from me being gay and tried to sway me away from homosexuality by telling me about “sick sex games”. i was like 12 or something 
@korieve @anna Wow these stories are making me realize I’ve been really lucky with my therapists. I always assumed that most therapists were rational people. I guess I was wrong.
You have enough on your plate already without the person you go to for help spouting off destabilizing nonsense.

No offense taken! 
I know therapists/pdocs do reality checks sometimes like that.
@korieve ugh that is so awful. Yeah I’ve had friends who had their therapists say stuff like they needed to find God or do yoga to cure their depression. I’m just so confused because she was great up until literally this session. I honestly didn’t expect this from her at all.

You aren’t making people believe weird things. A large percentage of people already believe weird things. They just feel you out and then decide to talk about them. Therapists are just people with a certain education and experience.
