Based on his own work with people who have DID and who also report abuse that includes trauma based mind control, he now acknowledges that this kind of trauma does take years to heal. I believe that Theophostic makes an excellent spiritual intervention in the context of any good DID therapy and will help the process of healing move more quickly and effectively. Concerning deliverance, I now prefer using Theophostic as the primay tool for dealing with issues of any kind, including spiritual oppression. In addition to the brief commentary I've provided here, I recommend an Internet search on the word Theophostic. This will return a manageable number of links where you can read what others are saying about this ministry.
Basic training is available by videotape and in person advanced training is available as well.
I recommend Theophostic ministry as a powerful aid to any recovery or deliverance ministry or for general personal growth. Be sure that if you receive Theophostic ministry that it is from someone who has been trained with Dr. Smith's materials, not second or third hand training. One of the things I appreciate most about Theophostic is that there is no reliance on word of knowledge on the part of the person ministering or other techniques that have the potential of suggesting false memories to someone receiving ministry. There is no expectation set that a repressed or dissociated memory will surface. While there is some training in the kinds of things that can surface, there is no way to tell what things will surface for any one individual.
