demon attachments | Hope | Tuesday, August 23, 2011 |
Question: I am a psychologist that works at a domestic violence and sexual assault agency. I have written to you two other times this past year about my agency's domestic violence shelters being haunted. You had explained that abuse victims, especially rape or incest, could have demons hitchhike onto them. |

Dear Hope: These women need help. You provide a valuable service as a psychologist to these people. There is nothing to fear. From what you describe, this woman may indeed have a demonic attachment or be demonized. She probably needs deliverance counseling. You can, if you are allowed, give her a copy of our Seven Steps to Self-Deliverance. If she is not Catholic, then the parts that are uniquely Catholic can be removed. As for your self, you can pray a Hedge Prayer for Protection around yourself and your practice. I have recommended this before for a doctor who had many patients he thought may be demonized and had phenomena actually occurring in his house. But, there is nothing to fear. God's power is absolute, and our faith is far more powerful than the devil. In our Spiritual Warfare Catalog linked below we have some prayers for Professionals. I recommend you prayer the Hedge Prayer of Protection for Practice and Self. If you find specific problems developing, other prayers in the "For Professionals" section and other sections of the Catalog will be useful. For your clients I recommend praying for all your client the Hedge Prayer of Protection for Patients/Clients. For clients you think may have spiritual/demonological problems like the one you mentioned here, then I recommend the prayer, Proxy Deliverance Prayer for a Patient/Client. Always begin these prayer with the Prayer to St. Michael for Protection. You can make referrals to us if the client is willing and has Internet access. You may also make an appointment with me to discuss particular clients (anonymously of course in concert with confidentiality policies) to help understand issues that may be going one and/or how you should handle those spiritual problems. Appointments can be requested by going to our email form: SPCDC Office God Bless, For information on how to receive help see our Help page. We suggest that before contacting us directly for help you try the Seven Steps to Self-Deliverance. These self-help steps will often resolve the problem. Also our Spiritual Warfare Prayer Catalog contains many prayers that may be helpful. If needed you can ask for a Personal Consultation.
