Going to the root of the issue is not only delicate, but can make the situation worse if the person "helping" has no idea what they are doing.
When in situations of trauma or extreme pain, the mind has two choices...fall apart completely or survive by suppression. The results often result in a personality which is completely different from our own, but still part of us.
You don't "remove" part of a person. You meld them into one being. For example, if the other personality is very dominant, aggressive, ect..teaching the person to find a balance between what they are now and that personality is what would be done. The other personality tends to come out in situations that send off a similar reaction that the first trauma had eg fear, extreme pain, anxiety, inability to cope with the situation.
This takes a lot of time, understanding of the human psyche, compassion and trust. Not something that happens over night by some random person offering what looks like a quick fix.

I trust what you say. An exorcism doesn't sound pleasant and I don't want to get rid of a part of me or my other half, just balance myself out or combine myself to be one again. So maydayy I know you are just trying to help, but I think what you suggest might be too risky for my well-being, and popular vote says it shouldn't be done.
I don't think you should try to split your personalities up. Many people walk between two worlds, the spiritual and physical. It may feel like you are split in two and in a way you are. Try to find ways to get the two parts of you to work together. My spiritual side is more dominant than my physical and I tend to listen to that more than my physical. It's something that will take your whole life to learn, but it will get easier the more aware you get.
no samandriel, with all do respect, but no. What i have said i have seen and i had to help go through with.
Going to the root of the problem and solving it at that level is the only true way to get rid of the problem. Because every mental and physical disease manifests itself from a problem.
The personality she gained is not truly hers, so it should be removed, and she needs to deal with things on her own, otherwise if she accepts it, she will make a bigger mess of herself.
The only balance is to be the only one in your body, she needs to learn how to cope with things on her own.
Well time really depends on the patient itself, some people instantly realize and solve it, for others it takes more time to solve it. Im not the one doing the exorcism but i help, and nobody, absolutely nobody has walked away without solving the problem so far...
Crimsun i respect ur decision to let your other personality deal with things u cant, but u are just making things worse. Good luck.
i was told i had schizofrenia ten years ago and me and my other are doing ok we work as one and are happy so pleases dont stress justb learn to live together
oh, come on. Stop fighting you two; your both acting like children. Stay out of each others way/life and live with your own; or at the very least respect those around you enough to be civilized; even if that means ignoring each other. If that's too hard for either of you then please don't post such obnoxious things in this discussion and have your fights else where.
Guys seriously, being a person who actually has a similar issue as Crimsun, I can tell you from experience, it's just a matter of finding balance. You don't need to exorcise a part of yourself to find that balance. I've lived my whole life with 3 spirits plus my own inhabiting the same body. Each one with a different past, each one with their own problems, and Me being the guide to lead them to the next life without mucking this one up. MayDay do you think I would need an exorcism? That I'm unstable? I can give the names of 20 people offline as well as online each that I have not only helped, or taught, but that I've been friends with a long time. As I said, it's all about finding balance, once it's achieved there is no need for such extreme measures.
Crimsun, you said you think you may have created her. In cases like these, these are literal defensive mechanisms that the human mind uses to protect your physical body from over exposure to trauma. Though I believe that if we were to talk a bit away from the forums, I'm sure there is more to the story than you are giving in. This isn't the first time a thread like this was created, and this isn't the first time I've had to make this argument. I am far from being crazy, but I'm not what you would call sane either, but then again, I'm still normal, if you go by societies standards of the word.
You have to be who you are and without hesitation feel and live in the moment. Mayday I'm sorry you may have had to put someone through an exorcism, I've done a few myself, and they are very tiring, and draining, however, like anyone with half a sense of the situation, you have to look at all aspects before jumping to one conclusion. I highly detest your need to jump straight to an exorcism when there really may not be any need at all for one.
I've done my share of research on how the spirit chooses the body, etc... however the thing you fail to understand (and it's obvious dear) is that when a person chooses to be a guide, like my spirit has, then it's completely normal to have more than one spirit in the body, and so long as (here it comes again) there is BALANCE within, then everything balances and works out fine.
You want something to look into, try being a Gemini sun sign and Pisces moon sign, it's like "having 4 people in your body at once". Do I believe that Crimsun should talk to a therapist, yes I think it would be advised, however, she also needs to come to terms with this, and understand it very well could have been a soul choice from the very get go and it was a traumatic event that lead to the spirit awakening within. She has to find out this information on her own, in her own time.
One Last Thing, MayDay and Blackfish, if you two continue to argue and squabble I'll give you both a time out for violation of the rules. This is your only warning.
Crimsun- Be Yourself, and Never Let Anyone Tell You Otherwise. It's the knowledge we gain from looking within, and the application of that knowledge shows true wisdom of the self, and self confidence emerges to show the art of true will.
