If you went to a person living on the equator a couple centuries ago and told them that there was a land perpetually covered in snow and ice, they never would have believed it because it didn't exist in their experience. Just because your cultural framework is too rigid to allow for hauntings doesn't mean they don't exist.

Something as simple as Jungian psychotherapy allows you to interface with the ghosts of your ancestral trauma in a way Western reductionist materialists wouldn't believe, just because they never took the time to explore it, they prefer to let their mind be an unknowable black box.

You don't believe in psychotherapy, so what healing modality would you suggest for help?

Therapeutically, naming parts of your interior dialogue as a way to disidentify them from your Self is explicit praxis.

You told me to seek help, but clearly you don't believe in something so woo as therapy, so I'm asking what in your personal opinion would be a good path forward. Obviously, you live a largely unexamined life, so I don't expect you to have any useful input, but thought you might say something interesting. My mistake.

Yeah, I don't think it's working, you seem really stressed. Maybe you should look into another healing modality, there's great work being done in somatics, using your body to release traumas and live a happier life

My initial comment pointed to therapy, and you told me to "seek help" (your words). If I'm seeking help for insights from psychotherapy, you obviously don't think those insights are valid. Or you're just too ignorant to understand what you're saying, which seems likely.
