Did your therapist not notify the police that your parents were abusing you? Therapists have a duty to report abuse of a minor to law enforcement.

I am not saying you weren’t abused, but if you were, your therapist was had a legal obligation to report the abuse and assist law enforcement.

Some of the evangelical churches in my area have "therapists" or "counselors" who aren't licensed therapists. They're trained to give "Biblical counseling" by their church. They frequently do more harm than good.

It sounds like distancing yourself from your family and from that particular church are the first step to healing. If the story is real.

Why do you think there are serial killers ? Why do they name their entities ?
Why do so many shooters say they don't remember shooting anyone ?
Why do psych doctors refuse to admit there is possibly demon possessed people ?
Simple fact, devil on one shoulder angel on the other.
All of the Popes were demons.
We are about to see many many demons. The ones that sold their souls for fame and fortune.
Speaking in tongues IS demon possession.

I’ve been reading the book of Mark and noticed there are many demons driven out. Chapter 5 even talks about a legion of demons being driven out of a man who used to be chained up and would cut himself with stones.

I grew up very involved in the church. My parent were involved as well. Unfortunately, my mom used to beat me regularly and tell me she hated me and wished I was dead. My dad, an elder in the church, molested me for years and eventually raped my mom in front of me.

I had a lot of pain and some mental illness in my 20s and used to slit my wrists when my parents would say or do mean things to me. I was part of a Bible study that practiced speaking in tongues and believed in demon possession. It was loosely affiliated with the Methodist church. My therapist was part of that Bible study.

My therapist , pastor, and I were chatting one evening and they said I was possessed by many demons. They called me Legion, and that nickname stuck, so I was called Legion from then on.

Eventually, I quit going, quit school, and moved away.

Now my life is in order, but I still have the desire to cut - I just don’t do it. With all the references to the demon possessed made in Mark, I’ve been wondering what people think about being demon possessed. I live in constant fear that people will find out how messed up I am. Maybe Legion was a good name for me.
