For those who have not read the book, here is my impression. Baldwin begins with a dozen or so Roman numbered pages with prefaces and forewords, then 60 + pages of introduction (Section I), then 100 pages about regression therapy (Section II), then some 30 pages about recovery of soul-mind fragmention. Having attempted to prepare the ground, on page 199 he gets to sprit releasement therapy which goes on for about 180 pages before he winds down talking about counseling and finishes off with discussion, afterwords, credits, and index. It took me a very long time to read this book, to digest even some of the ideas. The complexities and possibilities on the other side, or should we say the reality of which we only perceive a very narrow "band" (analogy radio) are just simply mind blowing.

I have been practicing something like that since long and it has been very helpful for me to release stress on many levels. Also it seems that insights/connecting dots comes easier after the release.
Thank you for this clarification, Laura. I have had building up questions on this subject since the time I participated too in SRT with that guy recommended back then at the forum. Pretty much at the same time as the forum I found that what he offered was quite distorted and a waste of effort. One of my next steps will be to look for a decent past life therapist.
Along with that my questions are: if we suspect attachements etc what happens during meditation practice, POTS, singing to your Crystals etc on your own? Meaning: is there a chance that we fed and feed the wrong energies because our E/F/R still matches? Just continue practicing trusting the process? What happens if eg Reiki is given from the Distant Reiki team before or along with supportive therapy? Is there not a chance that many people have attachments they are not aware of? Also, what about all the critters (toxic bacteria, virus, parasites) who manifest physically because they match these low frequencies. You pointed to an order in this process. How strict is this order to watch out for - first find what attracted it- and then continue? Or can supporting with Reiki be given parallel in your healing process (taking in account that the client is aware enough)?

[QUOTE="Gaby, post: 787971, member: 68"]I think it is important to not let the "inner child" tyrannize the self with whims and self-defeating narratives. A well-balanced adult in charge will provide the awareness and understanding for the inner child, without allowing the later to run the show.
The recommended psychological books in this forum has being very helpful in that regard. The concept of "inner child" could be extrapolated for other concepts such as thinking fast and slow (System 1 and System 2). You can enrich your view of the inner child with "Healing Developmental Trauma" as well. The more knowledge and awareness, the better your perspective. It helps to be more response-able.
My 2 cents![/QUOTE]
Many "Thanks" for this conversation. It is well needed. As a 15 year old. I was taken by my father to an obeh woman because of my rebellious nature. He felt my inquires and refusal to "Do as I say and not as I do" was the result of people working their magic on me in order to get to him. This was a sufficient reason to subject me to the whims of a Spirit Worker. During this time, my mother was going through chemotherapy on the continent.
In Obeah, just like most religious systems, there are opposing forces, those of positive and negative. My father's grandmother was a "Obeah Woman" of indigenous Carib/Kalina descent. She was practitioner of White or healing obeah. People came from all over the island for her healing powers. Unfortunately, she died while bringing my grandmother into the world. So, he knew something of how it works from his upbringing. However, the woman he took me to was one who worked with dark energies. At the time, I knew nothing of this obeah business because it it looked at as taboo in our religious indoctrinated society. Much of this story is being told from hindsight.
At any rate, he took me to this woman once a week for a couple of months until my mother returned, found out and put a stop to it. I was given various bush baths and different potions put on my body while this woman was chanting. Besides that, at some point, my personality was pushed aside and this woman became part of my psyche. She reported to my father all who I had come in contact with as well as conversations I had. I was me on the outside, but someone else on the inside. It was as if I was just an observer locked in a shell.
When my mother returned from her treatment, I had lost at least 30ibs and extremely ill. She demanded to know what was gping on and particularly what was wrong with me. When she found out that my father had been taking me to an obeah woman, she was beyond angry. By that time I had stopped going to my classes because my thought process was all jumbled up and lacked the ability to focus on any type of class work, like chemistry, calculus and so forth. It took me at least two months to recover. I was out of school for sometime until my mother felt I had healed enough to go back to school. By this time, my grades had dropped to 0's and I had to go to summer school to retake the classes I failed so I could graduate on time with the rest of my classmates.
While it appeared that I had healed on the outside, I had another energy still lingering inside me. This energy would overcome me when I got angry or emotionally charged. At one time, my anger drove me to almost run my father down with my mother's car. It was then she realized that there was something extremely wrong with me because I did not show any remorse. I had become very cold and hard almost without any Love at all, except for that shown to her and my brothers. At one time my father was my hero and best friend, but he changed. I was a Daddy's girl. Our relationship changed when he became, emotionally. mentally and spiritually abusive to our mother as well as my brothers and I.
I had been internalizing my powerlessness as a child and instead of hurting others, my unresolved psychological trauma ate away at my joints at an alarming rate. After many long years of various types of counseling including hypnotherapy, taking psychotropic drugs (which do not work by the way) and finally inner work, I came to terms with the brokenness of my inner child. The hypnotherapy helped me to do this in a safe environment which made it possible for me to forgive myself as well as forgive my father in order to release myself from the hateful person I was becoming. I realized I was beginning to take on the traits of my father who I did not want to become.
It has been quite a journey and not an easy one coming face to face with demons and having to deal with each one until I found myself. My alter ego is still with me, her name is Hilda. She cones out ever so often, however, for the most part I have learned various techniques like meditation, EE, thinking before speaking, mindfulness, living in awareness and consciousness of my actions and how they affect others. I also embraced the Love that is everywhere, but I already knew Love because our mother showered us with it. That is what saved me.
When I used to get stressed out, my sanctuary was the ocean. That is where I would release all that negative energy. Hilda no longer controls me. but she has shown up when she was needed. It is a balance, however, I do my best to remain present even when it means negotiating with Hilda. Unfortunately, since I was contaminated by the ocean 10 years ago, my visits to the ocean are those of visualization. Funny, I have never written this down before. Thank You again for this conversation. In Peace.

To continue on this, I'm currently working on the self-authoring suite provided by Peterson's team. I just finished the Present authoring program, virtues, and faults. Will continue with future and finish with the past.
For each virtue and fault you selected and ordered from a list of attributes drawn from the big five traits, you have to think about a situation in your life where it was relevant. Second, what could you have done better in that situation? Third, more generally, how to implement this virtue or reduce this fault in your life?
What I realized just through the present program is that a lot of faults I believe I hold originate from heavily emotionally charged situations from two periods: 9/12 years old, and 16/18 years old. For the most relevant ones, I have some examples in the present, but the others I STILL attribute myself, are just remnants from that period, and I actually can say I learned to handle it since but convinced myself I still have them. I realized how distorted my self-perception is on some points and how it affects my overall behavior.
My virtues are examples from 18 to now in comparison.
I think it's a great tool to be used and accompany that process of asking the right questions, it also is an opportunity to give an eternal hug from the future to that child and teenager who were way too sensible and self-centered.
We'll see what the Past authoring will bring up!
It might be a particular period for attachments to be made. At least it was for me.
I did SRT too at the time the topic was on, it didn't change much though I found it fascinating to learn what I learned through that session. I also really appreciated his basic script for earthbound spirits willing to transition, found it liberating and safe to use. As it asks specifically for those willing to transition, I thought it was quite ok, do we agree on that?
I don't know anyone better qualified than Laura to give wise counsel based on real experiences with SRT.
When reading this part I was reminded of a bible verse describing a similar idea (the Cs say that only about 30% of the bible is valid so maybe this verse is part of the 30% or maybe not).
When we look around at this Dionysius minded generation it is not difficult to think it is possessed or gone totally mad.
It really makes sense to me that a "quick fix" usually is only a stop-gap measure and without doing The Work on ourselves any gains will probably only be temporary at best.
This Work is not a quick-fix but a steady and sometimes arduous task. It is the process of acquiring Knowledge.
Session 5 October 1994:
Also sometimes we could be seeing demons where there are none or vise/versa:
Session 22 April 1995:
Learning as I search here it seems like demons may be considered 5D in origin (not something I would like to deal with but Laura has):
Session 9 June 1995:
Bringing this more into perspective and more into balance the Cs say this:
Just finished THE MYTH OF SANITY. A very sobering book with some very extreme problems. I didn't suffer any childhood abuse as described but feel I do have some very strong feelings from my my younger years. When I get certain feelings or a flashback ,for the life of me, I cannot remember any of the details involved and it's those details I feel I really need to remember. It's very frustrating as I think actual remembering of those is the key.
I don't think this is necessarily true. Remembering those details may re-traumatise us, if we are not careful. Also, if something happened in childhood which is traumatising the brain is flooded with chemicals (cortisol?) which means that in some cases the event will not even be recorded, so to speak. Just trying to look at these very strong feelings in a detached manner, as objectively as we can, will help us more, OSIT. NeurOptimal 3 sessions (plus Reiki) have helped me a great deal in that regard.
Healing Developmental Trauma and the NARM approach may be good for you, when remembering is not possible.
William Baldwin SRT information was my first wake up call in 2013 that something else is out there.I have since then always have great interest in this topic.I had gone to SOTT archives to save as much information on SRT .I had listened to Laura's interview on SOTT several times in the last three months so to hear this information (new to me) is so refreshing.
When you are grown up in these emotional driven denomination.You are so indoctrinated in the evil of spirit obsession that you just want to be of service. Laura thanks again for clarification on this topic.Its like a bullet smashing all confusing on SRT.
Mariama, Thank you for your advice... it makes sense and I will certainly try as you say. Cannot find any NO near me but started neurofeed back yesterday so hopefully that will help.
Thanks hlat, I do have Healing Developmental Trauma but not got to it yet. Will start reading now.
I would just say that neurofeed back in general is not the same approach that NO is based upon. NO does not target any specific frequencies to give rewards for changed patterns. NO allows the brain to receive audible and visual feedback and it is our own brain response that does the balancing (at least as best theorized by the inventor/psychologist/scientist). It is expensive and sometimes difficult to find a rental practitioner but hopefully at some point you can give it a try.

Yes!
I came to that conclusion in 2014.
The experiences made me really sit up and take note of the entire picture being seen here and caused me to tortoise. I can only deal with my own issues. If any attachment releases it's grip it is because of changes made internally by you personally. No one can do that for you.
I never did a srt session with anyone. The only lasting changes seem to be ones that I personally make internally. The results of which seem to be durable.
