Stopping sz symptoms consciously

[Guest guest]

Janet and I were talking for awhile about the trance you get into when

you are taking labels and signs literally and personally meant for

you. Or messages from the TV and radio. This is called by the psychs

as 'delusions of reference'. I have tried to control this consciously

in the past, but it usually led to brain exhaustion and confusion.

However, there is a Trance Institute in which the director, Dennis

Weir, believes that you can get off drugs and learn how to terminate

the sz. trances we get into. He explains some instances in which

people who learned his methods were successful in eliminating sz symptoms:

I feel very confident and others here will find this theory

deserving of further exploration. IMO, it has a lot of potential and

could be just another tool in our recovery tool box.

Hugs and Happy New Year to all,

Hi Janet,

I can't remember anything about the " how to " part and will have to

read up on it again. Look around on his site, there is much more than

that one page I posted.

I might have to buy Dennis Wier's book, I'm not sure, but I'm

concerned it may be out of date. I remember it being kind of hard for

me to understand about trance " loops. "

Dennis used to email me several years ago about sz. I notice on his

site that he experimented in inducing a sz trance in himself that

included hearing and seeing things, and then he 'terminated the

trance'. I don't know how he did it. I forgot to tell him about the

self referential delusions with the messages from signs, bottles,

radio, TV, etc. He didn't include that in his trance experiments on

himself, as far as I know.

I've only lately been able to articulate it better, so I think I'd

better try to email him and talk to him about it all again. If I can

ever figure out how to put his methods in easy-to-understand language,

you will be the first to know.

Hugs,

Melody
