"Hello Umni, A while back I posted a rather lengthy response to a question in the same "arena" as this. It wasn't specifically about people seeing "Dead Relatives" but I believe you will find a great deal of value from it.…"

"I have been privileged to have a near death experience. Even although I am convinced, would swear that it really happened, and medical evidence also suggests in my case it has substance, I'm wise enough to understand the tricks our mind…"

"I have a great psychiatrist that is very kind and a very good hypnotherapist that I would recommend. It is always best to have someone you can direct people too that is better under the medical umbrella. Just email me if you need the name."

"Then I think we are in complete and total agreement."

"I would suggest that a hypnotist or a hypnotherapist has clients, rather than patients. I am sick to the back teeth of the 'us and them' mentality: from both the medical profession and from fellow hypnotists/hypnotherapists. Those people…"

"Henxy is absolutely correct, in that those labels, correctly used, are instructive and informative., and give an accurate description of the problems a client might face. Unfortunately , experience shows us that many of those, with the requisite…"

"Another excellent point, Kathryn. As someone who is required to diagnose certain things at certain levels, and has worked closely with those who carry complete professional accountability for the consequences of making a diagnosis, I think that…"

"Again, it would be helpful if you give all the facts Before asking us to interact. You gave us little bits at a time. It makes me feel like we have participated in a game. I still stand on my response that unless we are a certified mental health…"

":)"

"Hi again Urmi, Just re-read Kathryn's post of how 'giving it a name may just add to the drama'. One argument is that by giving it a name we then know what it is and can then follow the tried and tested way of how to treat it. However,…"

"Hi Bob, thanks for your heartening reply. I have already had a few sessions and there is remarkable improvement. Urmi"

"My training made it clear to me that I could not treat schizophrenia (assuming that's what this is). I was also given the same advice with alcoholism. During my personal journey in clinical hypnotherapy my findings are that both of these pieces…"

"Dear Urmi, Henxy and I have said very similar things. I wonder though why you were wanting someone to identify a medical condition? Your own gut feelings or insight were sufficient to cause concern. Giving it a name may just add to the drama. Best…"

"Thanks, Kathy.   I had meant that the diagnostic criteria are there for non-MH professionals interest, not intending Urmi to use it without training, but I did not make that clear. Thank you.   My point about the neutrality came from…"

"Good advise henxy, Urmi be careful delving into the DSM IV without training. Many doctors and nurses can relate personal stories of seeing themselves and others with symptoms as they study their textbooks books during medical training. It would be…"

"Whether she admits to herself, or even knows it is she, is different from whether she admits to other people, particularly people she cares about, that she is doing 'it'. Secondary gain is a huge issue. She may indeed be trying to isolate…"
