Remind yourself that if you see a Ghost of a person you know...well...it's their soul right...it's not gonna hurt you:) But also...think of ghosts in this way...it's really just the fear of the unknown....do you do the program? if so you know in session two it talks about panic attacks...many people when they find out what causes the panic attacks they never have a full blown one again because the mystery is gone...they understand what it is. A ghost would simply be either an imprint in time of an image of someone or the spirit of that person...so unless the person was horrible to you in life I wouldn't be scared...say "hi I've missed you so much"

I use to worry about ghosts in general but I don't think they can hurt you or even care to try. There is so much out there to see and if you're a ghost you prably have easier ways of going places than we do lol

I sooooo believe in ghosts and spirits, but emabrace it. I think of it as magical. The unknown to me is amazing, and I have no fear of it. I think they are all around us, and, well, just think its pretty cool. I would never say to be afraid, and if you've seen or felt one, well then lucky you!!!!!!

thank you so much sor your kind replies. i think the ageing of my grandma makes me nervous and i have these OST about ghost etc. and bleive that when she dies thats all i'll obess over and scare myself with. having said that i have had family members who have passed away since these thoguht have been around..and i have not lost the plot..but again my mind tells me that they dont live with me like my grandma. so when she dies i will loss it..! i guess when the day comes i will find out. but i wish i could talk to more ppl who have overcome this fear.

u will not lose it. youwill be sad though. my sister died 2 weeks ago. Before she died I didn't know how I would handle it because you always think that'll be the thing that'll make you snap and go crazy. I didn't go crazy. I was very sad and even now when I think about her I get a little sad. I'm still dealing with it all but I now know I can handle it. Talking to my family has helped me so much. Sometimes I get kind of scared at night when it's dark but I keep telling myself that that is my sister, why am I afraid of her? She loved me.

I am done with the program. It is just the setback from the loss that's causing me problems. I'm feeling better every day and I know that I'll be fine. I don't worry as much anymore since the program. I've learned how to catch myself before I start to spiral out of control with the negative thinking. But I'm still working on myself. You're not done with the program just because you finish the lessons. The real work begins when you finish the program and start to use the tools out in the "real" world.

DeeDee, it's been awhile since I've been on here, but I just wanted to say I'm so sorry to hear about your sister! I pray for you and your family right now.
I do want to say KUDOS to you for using your skills you've learned on "coping" with this kind of tragedy. I loved your ending response on your post...."the real work begins when you finish the program and start to use the tools out in the real world"....girl that is sooooo true isnt it. You are definately and inspiration here. I know you were for me in my darkest times. take care and God bless you
