“These things are real, and we must stop letting spirits plague our children.” That’s what Durek Verrett wrote in a post on Instagram on Friday where he published a video. It was VG who mentioned the video first. In the video, Verrett comes up with what he calls tips on parenting. – You can’t let that happen. The way to stop it is to hold your child, look them straight in the eye, no matter how uncomfortable it is for them, and say: “You have no power here. You are a weak being, and now I send you into the light. Deep into the light,” says Verrett in the video. – Plant a seed Several have criticized the video. Among the critics is social debater and journalist Ingeborg Senneset. In a post on Instagram, she has a clear encouragement for Verrett: “Delete this mess. Deal with the undocumented, useless and unethical. Use the enormous reach and power that lies in your network and your new role.” Ingeborg Senneset thinks the video should be deleted.

And for those who were not familiar with it before, you can plant a seed that can grow into something very, very ugly, she says. – If only one parent takes the “advice” Verrett gives, the chain of negative consequences for the child can be very long. It is hard to believe that he will take that risk, adds Senneset. I think the royal house should intervene Adviser and father of five Svein Tore Bergestuen also reacts to Durek Verrett’s video. In a post on Facebook, Bergestuen writes that Verrett should “apologise for having presented a message about the exorcism of dark forces in children which could potentially be harmful”. – This is not how one should handle children. It is not good, says Bergestuen. Durek Verrett’s video made father of five and counselor Svein Tore Bergestuen see red. Photo: Martin Fjellanger He believes that the royal house should intervene and that they cannot refrain from saying that this is not okay. – It would be very unfortunate if this goes by quietly. That this is not commented on by distancing oneself from it, he says. – They simply have to deal with this, he adds. – A spiritual leader of news has been in contact with the royal house, who does not wish to comment on the matter. – We have no comments on the announcement and refer to Durek Verrett’s spokesperson, says communications manager Guri Varpe. Neither Durek Verrett nor his spokesperson wishes to comment on the specific criticism, but spokesperson Simon Eriksen Valvik says that “Durek’s business is based on his understanding and practice of shamanism”. – Durek is a spiritual leader. The practice he fell outside of traditional medical licensing and regulation, says Valvik. He further says that they do not discuss details of treatment methods publicly. – Durek follows ethical guidelines in its practice and only engages in the treatment of children with the consent of guardians or healthcare personnel.
