[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 123457, member: 3626"] How do you teach someone that something they are convinced is real isn't? I think I understand what the therapist is saying. For now, teach her how to cope with these issues -- imaginary or not, she needs to deal with them and survive them. Telling her they are not real is irrelevant -- she believes them and you're not going to convince her otherwise. However, maybe if she learns to deal with the fear and other emotions that caused the hallucination, she will be able to cope with the fear and the hallucination will go away? Just a consideration.
