“Thank you for telling me that, Evan. That sounds really intense. When you saw the figure, what did you feel in your body first scared, frozen, dizzy, something else?”
“When you say he tells you what people are thinking, how does that happen for you? Is it like hearing a voice, getting a feeling, seeing words in your head, or something different?”
“Does the figure only show up when other people are around, or have you noticed him when you’re alone too?”
“Has he ever told you to do something you didn’t want to do?”
“When he talks to you, does it feel friendly, mean, bossy, protective, or hard to describe?”
“Do you get to tell him to stop? And if you do, what happens?”
“Since that night, have you been sleeping okay, or have you had trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or having scary dreams?”
“Have you noticed headaches, feeling sick, blacking out, losing time, or feeling like things around you aren’t real?”
“Before that night at your grandparents’ house, did anything scary, stressful, or unusual happen that week?”
“When you were at your grandparents’ house, was there anything in the room that might help me picture it better shadows, a window, a light, a sound, anything like that?”
“Have you told anyone else about this before today? If so, how did they react?”
“When you’re around people and hear these thoughts, do they ever make you feel unsafe or overwhelmed?”
“Are there certain people whose thoughts come through more strongly than others?”
“Do you ever feel like your own thoughts get mixed up with what he says?”
“What helps you feel calmer when this starts happening?”
“If you could change one thing about what’s happening right now, what would you want to be different first?”
