Do you believe that walking under a ladder or someone giving you the "evil eye" can give you bad luck? Dr. Phil's guests say that curses and evil spirits are wreaking havoc in their lives. Sarah is convinced that she's hexed. For the last five years, she has been plagued with what she calls the "Tuesday Curse." Watch what happens when Dr. Phil's producers follow her around on her "unlucky" day. Then, George is convinced he is reaping the negative effects of a curse put on his family years ago in Mexico. He has even put his wedding plans on hold because he fears the curse will cause him to divorce! Plus, David worries that his wife, Holly, may be possessed because she has had the same nightmare for the past seven years, and she has been talking in a man’s voice, speaking in a foreign tongue and barking like a dog. What's behind her fearsome dreams? And, a woman claims an exorcism, performed by her father 26 years ago, put demons inside of her.  Share your thoughts.

you heard me! :)

Quote From: liatsunami

 I am so sorry you had to be raised by someone with this very serious disorder.  A freind of mine who has a B.A. in psychology  and I discussed this disease at great length.  Unfortuantely, narcissism is one of the most difficult personality disorders to correct, because the person can NOT by virtue of the disease acknowledge they have a problem, and treatment  and therapy often doesn't work.  I imagine your life with your mother must have been very difficult growing up, and you probably are very drained, hurt, and emotionally scarred from it. 

First, you have to accept there is NOTHING you can do to help your mother. Second, I would suggest going to a therapist that you can get comfortable enough with to discuss specific concerns relating to how this is affecting your life.   Get help by learning the steps you need to take to begin to give yourself control over your life and feelings.  Really listen to what the therapist tells you, and don't let him/her dismiss your feelings.

This disease is not your mother's fault, but you can't let her drag you down.  You really need to see a professional about how to free yourself from the trap you feel you're in.


 Wow, thank you so much for responding and for being someone who knows what I'm talking about!  I was really afraid that someone would reply and not quite get what I was referring to. 

It has been an aweful road, terribly aweful.  I've been like this pawn intentionally brought into this world for her to feed off of.  She is the master of disguise and gets grand joy from her control and manipulations of people and the power to alter situations to her demand.  It is truely sickening. 

I have more recently stopped all contact with her.  I hope I can do it this time forever.  The web is so difficult to escape.  It's like she has us (her kids) brainwashed from birth, yet once we all got into the real world we had a revelation of just how screwed up she is. 

It's funny.  I love my mother, but on what basis?  I honestly couldn't say.  I have no reason to.  It doesn't make any sense.

When I was young I was raped by a member of the church my family made us attend.  When it went public I was quickly neglected and my mother took the limelight quickly.  Soaking up all of the people doting on her and how aweful it was that this has happened to her family.  You know... My parents didn't ask me once if I was okay or seek me couselling.  My Dad just played right into the palm of her selfish tears that eeringly made me cringe from seeing some sort of satisfaction in her eyes from it.  The church and friends ran to her wailing performance.  It is one story like this after another.

She was so tempered too.  To be challenged or unpraised was forbidden.  I can't count the times I took a trip down the stair case due to her rage of defiance.  Or how many times she would test her power of guilt and demand.  Blah blah blah....

She is a master at being a conartist.  It disgusts me that I can't get her help and try to put this family back together.  You are so right..... about the whole denial thing.  She would take it as a challenge and reason to manipulate more to her favor.  She has no remorse or feeling- it's all performance.  Most people think that I am exagerating when I say that, but they just don't get it.  She really does feel nothing for others.

By the sounds of it, you really don't need me to tell you my stories since you talked in depth with your friend.  I have just NEVER met anyone who knew what the hell I'm talking about.  It felt like my soul came alive when I read your post.  I know, corny but so true!

wow *deep breath*
*sigh*  thank you.

I would love to have counselling.  In fact I wrote into Dr. Phil to bring my family on his show over 100 times.  Then the exec. prod. Laurie called me up a few months back and tried to get us on, but my mother refused to comply.  I honestly thought Dr. Phil could help us if I could just get us all to agree to go.  He would've seen right through her, I honest ly believe that.  Well, to be completely honest, I was a lil bit worried that she could even fool him.  She is good at who she has become. 

I can't afford counselling.  God I wish I could.  It's like we are kids brought into this world and kept in an abusive cube, then when released (more like escaping) into the world we realize we have zero tools to survive.  I don't mean how to physically live.  If anything we are tuff having survived my mother.  I just mean internally.  We have a terrible sef esteem, cover up our weeknesses by reaction, do the right things out of an engrained fear etc etc.  We don't have healthy life tools to deprogram and learn to deal with all that has been endured.

I would love to continue to talk to you about this.  Very much so!

Quote From: josiemarie

I too suffered emotional abuse and physical abuse from my mom.  I made it my life's goal to learn how to help others get past  this and went to school to be a therapist.  One of the most powerful things one of my professors said to me is "You let your mom ruin the first 20 years of your life, are you going to let her ruin the next 20?"  I have studied many theories of personality and the combination of spirituality coupled with cognitive-behavioral techniques with a little bit of Rogerian unconditional positive regard has served me and my patients best.  For example, when you have an overly controlling mother you tend to become perfectionistic trying to win her love and approval as a child, thus you believe if you just did the right thing she would love you.  The problem with that is you become a people pleaser and you lose yourself in the process till the real you splinters off and you look in the mirror and you don't know who you are, what you like etc.  We say that your mom gave you the message of conditional love that if you do the right thing she will love you.  What you need to learn is that if conditional love got you there, it is unconditional love that heals you but you don't get it from other people.  If you try to get it from other people and they have a bad day you are at their mercy and not in control.  Yout get unconditonal love from yourself.  You learn how to pat yourself on the back when you do something good, not depend on others to notice or praise you.  Spirituality has this same concept called Agape love or the idea that I love you no matter what you do, I might not like what you do, but I will always love you.  Learning to be your own best friend and love yourself is not easy.  It takes a lot of unlearning.  That's where the cognitive approach works (or as Dr. Phil refers to it as negative self-talk.)  Anyhow that is a brief synopsis of how to heal.  Use everything and cover all your bases, medicine, exercise, surround yourself with positive people, therapy if needed, self-help books, and the icing on the cake is the spirituality put back in.  Good luck and God bless you.
Thank you for your response.  I appreciate your encouragement.  More than anything, I would love to know what you know about this disorder.  I saw in your profile that you are an RN and work amongst mental health patients.  I understand that I have a lot of internal rebuilding to do and it will probably be a life long challenge.  I keep pressing forward! :)  I am not the type of person to wollow though some times it is challenging.  I keep my head up most days and try to forget about where I have come from.  I can't always do that though.  Couselling is something I agree that would be heaven sent for me.  I am not yet in a position to finacially support theraputic help.  Sad to admit, but I have seen a pshyciatrist for over a decade.  Along with my father.  We both suffer from panic and anxiety attacks.  We both question if it is due to our enviroment, meaning my mother.  Since I have not spoken to my mother in months, I have managed to reduce my dose from 225mg to 75mg.  I have not suffered from one panic attack either.  There might be some truth to my mother's affect on us.  Everyday is a step closer to healing.  Though the memories are horrifying at times.  Again, thanks for replying.

Holly's House Is Haunted

Holly, 

Go back and watch the tape of you in the bedroom. Your room has several orbs floating in and out of frame. We watched these in slow motion on our DVR, and there is for sure something there. In the first tape of you getting out of bed there is an orb that appears to float into your body. This is very visible at normal speed as well.  In every tape of you in the bedroom there are orbs. I would love to hear feedback on this. This may help you seeing this.

AM I CURSED?

Dr. Phil, Dr. Phil, Dr. Phil...... 

 

I don't know where to start except to say regarding today's show you had me in stitches at one point, hanging off my sit waiting for your response the next minute and finally saying something that made a little sense. 

I tape your show everyday and this is the one time I felt you needed advice from someone else, no disrespect to the other doctor.  Maybe he will say something privately that will make better sense. I literally had to stop the tape and come respond. 

 

I've been partially in Holly and the other girl that had been exorcised before's place. I am a very intelligent Christian woman but have had years of episodes in my life pertaining too a situation somewhat like their's.  To make a long story short your advice about a symbol or seeking a Church was the best advice you could give!  The funniest part was when you said something about suppressing her thoughts(not exactly but on that order)before she went to bed and taking control during the day....From personal experience I have always done mind over matter with 100% results. But, when you are filled with spirits good/bad you have no control!! (trust me) 

 

After years of being embarrassed by my actions in Church and just holding any religious conversation, I met a female pastor of my past church and after her noticing what I was going thru and my request she and another male pastor helped me denounce these spirits!  And I have not had an episode since!!! 

 

And I always sleep with an open bible at the head of my bed.  Because if there are any spirits thru the night that are evil they will not stay but, if they are good they will not leave nor will they frighten you. 

 

You're still the BEST:)

About Demons

Quote From: marline

Curses are real.  The Bible speaks about them, and the fact that one should never curse another.  Unfortunately, curses are put on people without them even knowing that it happens.  Curses are also generational, passed down from the Fathers to the third and fourth generations.  Many people are possessed and obsessed with demons, due to generational curses, sin, legal rights, and some even invite them into them, i.e. witches and warlocks and those following Satanism. 

  

I have been going through deliverance/exorcism for the last four years.  Even though I was ready to be set free of all things at once, our merciful Lord will not allow that to happen,  for our safety.  It has been a  hard, but very freeing experience.  God has allowed me to see things that happened to me in the past, and through hours of praying by sincere, knowledgeable deliverance teams, I am free.  God has given me many answers to the many  questions I had concerning my life.  He is a good God and I am eternally thankful that He gave me the desire to get free, and sent the right people to me to help me achieve that freedom.  Forgiveness and repentance plays a large part in deliverance.  One has to stay close to the Lord in prayer to remain free, and trust Him to continue to guide and direct me so that I can stay free.  Trying to live sinless is difficult, but with God's help one can attempt to achieve this goal.  Also, never take offense.  It opens doors to unforgiveness and sin.  I am in no way perfect, as there is only one perfect one, God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.  He is my source for everything. 

I also believe in curses, because the bible talks about the curses God put on in the old testament.  But when you accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, the curse is broken.  I truly believe that.  I believe my family had a curse of alcohol and other dependencies, but through the Power of Jesus, one by one each of the members is coming to the Lord.  God is good. 

  

I Had an encounter in 1986 with demonic forces.  Its seems as though my fear of them encouraged them more, and the more fearful I became, the more they attacked me.  I know for a fact that they are real.  But then, I wasn't a very strong christian and I didn't know how to handle the situation very well.  I was going to a church where the pastor didn't believe me when I told him I was encountering demons.  I ended up by my son calling the fire department to come and free me out of my house.  I had locked myself in there with (the demons) for a week.  When they brought me out, they took me to a mental institution, and I stayed there for 30 days.  When I came out, I was totally defeated, and said never again would I read the bible if this was going to happen because of it.  I had spent a great deal of time reading the bible and had a curious mind.   

13 years later, I was told I had breast cancer.  And I was on my knees to the one who was always faithful even though I had not been.  To make a long story short, I came back to the Lord, and have served Him faithfully.  I am a much stronger Christian and I know that Ephesians 6 is really the best way to defeat the enemy.  You need to be strong in the Lord.  Wearing the full armour of God.  I agree with you, that he is my source for everything.  Since my experience in 1986, the Lord has given me a fine Christian husband, and a solid foundation on which to grow in Christ.
