RE: Psychology Addict # 34 | Demons, Possession & Exorcism

in #psychology6 years ago

The demon is a manifestation of the “angry, rebellious part” of a person–a separate or dissociative personality “who may hate God, or even experience a violent reaction to the name of Christ.” In other words, demonic possession could possibly be an extreme coping mechanism for someone who has become dissociative, angry, or (spiritually) damaged through continued abuse.

Hey @croata :)

Thanks for taking the time to comment! Well, in Jeanne Fery's case her dissociation was a consequence of fear rather than anger. I completely agree with the latter part of your statement ' mentally/spiritually damaged through continued abuse'. Nicely put!

Have a good day :)
