My therapist said to me that my fear of demons parallels some childhood experiences with witnessing violence and he made me remember that my dad used to call my mom’s alcoholism a “demon” after they’d fight, all the time. So I guess my brain did some word association gymnastics there

I don’t believe in demons just in scary vibes like a house that feels off or people who have the look on their face that they could kill someone.

I suffered that same look for a while when I was unwell. Thought that of members of my family and friends. Even strangers. Horrible thing.

You pretty much nailed it here with what my therapist was trying to to say. My mom was extremely violent and angry

I’m having a hard time processing this. It’s allowing me to feel some deep hurt I’ve been running from for so long but I don’t know what to do with it

Therapy is ups and downs. New findings need time to be processed.
I’m sure you’ll be fine.

I hope things get better for you in that regard. I am glad you’ve realized some things. That will enable you to work on it and improve things.
Don’t get discouraged if at first working through this stuff makes you feel worse. It’s normal. But if you keep working on it, it’ll eventually get better and provide relief
