Many people now know that while "alien abduction" researcher, Dr. David Jacobs, of Temple University, was conducting hypnosis with me, that he put hypnotic suggestions in my mind that I had Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD), and that I should take medication for it.
Dr. Jacobs put the hypnotic suggestions in my mind that I had MPD on June 25, 2006, at the end of my twenty-ninth hypnosis session.
I was Dr. Jacobs' research subject for two years between December 2004 and February 2007, and during that time he conducted ninety-one hypnotic regressions, during thirty-seven hypnosis sessions, with me. I am one of three research subjects with whom he has done the most extensive amount of hypnosis.
For further information about the hypnosis sessions that Dr. Jacobs conducted with me see:
• My Hypnosis Sessions with Dr. David Jacobs - Background Information
I have presented here an audio clip of Dr. Jacobs putting the hypnotic suggestions in my mind that I had MPD, as well as a transcript.
DR. JACOBS:"I'm going to count from five to one, and just remember now, my diagnosis is that this is Multiple Personality Disorder and you should take medication for it. I have seen lots of cases of MPD, and this absolutely fits the MPD profile. And, my professional diagnosis therefore is Multiple Personality Disorder. I am studying it. I am writing a book about it. That is my next book. I feel that the whole, sort of, alien business is all a matter of Multiple Personality Disorder. It’s a much more widespread phenomenon than people think. Lots of people are walking around with it. It’s a public health problem. And that, you are unfortunately suffering from it. And, my opinion is that yours is a classic case, and that – that the only thing that will help you will be medication. ... your stories, I am only interested in the fact that you tell those stories, because multiple personalities are all different. As you know, that each – each individual within Multiple Personality Disorder … comes out. And, I think that we’ve been dealing with three or four personalities here … yours is, in fact, Multiple Personality Disorder. And, when people want to talk to you about the - about your contact with me, that is the first thing you tell them. I have decided it is all Multiple Personality Disorder, and that’s what I’m going to be talking about. A psychiatric condition. Multiple Personality – Personality Disorder, well-known in the world. And, you think I may be wrong, but I think that I’m right. And, that’s what it is. And, this is what it is. And - and this is where my studies are leading. My studies are going directly to Multiple Personality Disorder. And that’s all there is to it. So, now I’ll count from five to one and bring you out of this. And, we’ll talk about MPD a little bit more. Five, kind of coming out of this ... "
Naturally, many people have questions about Dr. Jacobs putting hypnotic suggestions in my mind that I had MPD, and would like to know what happened.
I have provided a short explanation of what occurred here. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me about it.
1) I was Dr. Jacobs' research subject between 2004 through 2007, and he investigated my anomalous experiences using hypnosis.
2) During that time, Dr. Jacobs told me that he was in danger from "hybrids/aliens" because of his "alien abduction" research, and in my opinion, his behavior became quite bizarre and paranoid.
3) Dr. Jacobs also believed that those "hybrids/aliens" could read my mind (and the minds of other abductees) because it is well documented that the communication that abductees remember having with "aliens" (whatever the actual cause of the phenomenon is), is primarily telepathic.
4) Consequently, while Dr. Jacobs had me under hypnosis, he planted suggestions in my mind that I had Multiple Personality Disorder. He did this ostensibly to try to fool the "hybrids/aliens", not because he really believed that I had MPD.
5) Dr. Jacobs ostensibly believed that the "hybrids/aliens" would read my mind, see that he had a new theory 'that everyone telling abduction stories was actually suffering from MPD', and that the "hybrids/aliens" would therefore loose interest in him.
6) Dr. Jacobs told me that he actually believed in "alien abduction". He said that he believed that his life was in danger from the "hybrids/aliens" because he knew that they had a "secret" program to infiltrate Earth by using "hybrids" to blend into human society.
7) Dr. Jacobs was ostensibly trying to use my mind as a shield to protect himself from "hybrids/aliens", whom he said he believed would use mind control on him, or even possibly kill him, to stop his "alien abduction" research.
8) I am of the opinion that, deep down, Dr. Jacobs knew that he was not really in danger from "hybrids/aliens", because I do not think that he would have put his family in danger in order to do his "alien abduction" research.
9) Dr. Jacobs did not ask my permission before he put the suggestions in my mind that I had MPD, and I did not know that he was going to do it.
10) I realized at the time that Dr. Jacobs' suggestions were intended for the "hybrids/aliens" benefit, but because I was hypnotized, they still affected me.
11) After Dr. Jacobs had brought me out of the hypnotic state, he continued to reinforce to me that I must keep it in my mind, so that the "hybrids/aliens" would believe it.
12) I tried to deal with it by making light of it at the time, but it nevertheless frightened me.
13) Dr Jacobs is not a medical doctor. He is a historian. Even if he had really believed that I had MPD, which he did not, he would not have been able to diagnose it.
14) In my opinion, Dr. Jacob's actions were the self absorbed and unethical actions of a researcher so involved in his fantasy world that he lost total regard for my well-being, and had no concern for the injury and ramifications that those hypnotic suggestions might ultimately have on me.
15) This is not a character assassination of Dr. Jacobs. I am merely trying, in the only way that I know how, to make my story known, so that others will not suffer the same abuse from Dr. Jacobs, or from any other unethical researchers.
16) Unfortunately, the phenomenon is still so suppressed by society, that there are few places people can turn to for help. There appear to be no effective regulations in place to protect vulnerable experiencers of the phenomenon. It seems as though word of mouth is the main protection that we have at this time.
