AIPR has several members who are experienced in helping deal with unwanted psychic phenomena or poltergeist experiences. The organisation has a history of helping people who are distressed by various phenomena such as hauntings or UFO experiences.
Who seeks help
Some people have strange or disturbing psychic events as a consequence of prolonged meditation or energetic forms of Yoga practice leading to spiritual emergence or emergencies.
Uninformed experimentation with
séances
or Ouija boards can lead to unwanted psychic disturbances.
People who have had a close encounter with a UFO or what is experienced as communication with alien beings or
extra-terrestrials (ETs) are usually deeply disturbed by their experience.
Disclaimers
1.
Clinical parapsychology is rarely (if at all) practised in Australia.
2.
Most psychologists are professionally guided by the ideology of the
western medical model of the mind/brain and its function.
3.
Any
advice given to a contact in relation to an alleged paranormal incident will
depend on the training and belief system of the professional and therefore
such advice does not necessarily reflect the beliefs of the AIPR.
4.
If advice or an opinion is not appreciated or accepted in the
professional context in which it is given, the inquirer should approach
another professional on the list.

Psychologists and psychiatrists who are affiliated with AIPR can help you
