Yes. Looking for a way around that. Why would psychology even use that phrasing? Is there a mental disorder called... Astral projection, when someone is freaking out about their experiences in that regard?
I do understand however, that so many people would freak out if someone guessed their birthday or their favourite colour and over time with the misguided belief that they're handing their information over telepathically, when they don't really want to. Some deterioation of the mind might take place and some treatment would be beneficial.
However as it is with my experience. I haven't even wasted a moment in futility exploring psychiatric options, as it has been far too uncanny on hundreds of occasions. Having this information known can be quite detrimental and I always like to refer to the captive vs the warden scenario, just to illustrate how dire betraying ones thoughts can be. When your imagined escape plans or methods of coping, no matter how elaborate, are reported back to you by the captor, mere moments after you have conceived of them. Just a hole in the boat every time you set out.
Also troubling when one cannot with certainty distinguish whether they themselves are betraying their thoughts, as one might carelessly wave a torch around frantically plagued by panic lost in a warzone. Or whether they simply are being plucked.
Information on this phenomena in its classical sense is truly scarce. Owing to the simple hijacking of the terminology. It goes way back when and no way back machining has yielded anything.
