My SO pointed me to this article about exorcism and entity release being used as part of psychiatric treatments: Thought Exorcism was Dead? Think Again.

I laughed as I was reading through some of the parts of the article because they’re very similar to things that I’ve experienced myself, and it just further serves as a reminder to me as to why my therapist might have been less shocked than I expected when I mentioned entity attachment being part of the treatment I’d gone through in the past.

Peter Johnson’s demonic possession was no less bizarre. Askinra’s presence only became apparent when Peter was hypnotised by Dr Sanderson. Under hypnosis, Askinra would temporarily gain control of Peter’s body and use his voice to communicate.

Askinra apparently attached itself to Peter during his former life as a child in 1950s Tibet. He was bayonetted to death at the age of twelve by a Chinese soldier. The soldier’s sheer bitter hatred for the boy sucked in a nearby spirit which became attached to Peter’s soul. When Peter was re-incarnated, Askinra was dragged back into our world too.

When I was in the hypnosis class. There was another person also who experienced entity attachment, whereas the spirit attached to me was from this life time, one of the ones that she released had attached to her in a previous life because she reminded him of his dead wife.

There are all sorts of reasons why entities can attach to a person, my ex fragmented a piece of herself too me because she couldn’t let go, my grandfather when he died attached to me to try and protect me from her not realizing that I was becoming symptomatic with some of the illnesses that he had experienced in his life.

After my ex went back to herself, he went to the light for a time, he still hangs around to check in on us, and watches over my child while he sleeps but won’t attach to me so forcibly because he knows what happens now. While I still have some fibromyalgia symptoms, other than when a flare was caused by an adverse reaction to a medicine I was prescribed, since I did the entity release work the highest issue I’ve had has probably been around a 4 or 5 with ordinarily being around a 1 or 2, compared to 6-7 most of the time previously. I was diagnosed with fibro in August of 2002 after having symptoms for over a year, but not going to treatment because my step-father had convinced me that if I started a job with a pre-existing health condition diagnosed I wouldn’t be able to get insurance. My grandfather had died in January of 2001.

I remember my hypnotherapy instructor explaining that sometimes the fragmenting is intentional and sometimes not. He said that often times there will be interesting reactions from the person who was fragmented once the attachment is released. Three days after my session my ex tried to get in touch via the internet when we hadn’t spoken in any way shape or form for several years. I thought that was interesting. Once I wrote back that I was married and starting a family contact ceased again.

I find it interesting also to see that therapists are incorporating spirit release into their sessions. I’m going to have to ask my counselor about this when I go next time.
