This chapter describes the experience of a Psychotherapist/Dramatherapist when working in a Neuropsychiatry department. It was there that the Psychotherapist met patients with Conversion Disorder for the first time and worked with them and others who were undergoing video-EEG monitoring for unexplained attacks, fits, or seizures. These experiences, among many others, have gradually led the Psychotherapist to create “Metamyth,” a psychological method uniquely suitable for the treatment of people with epilepsy. Metamyth for people with Non-Epileptic Seizures (NES) adopts a different approach to that used with epilepsy. As a holistic approach, Metamyth is interested in the mind, body, soul and intuition, and communication. Considerable patience is needed to understand the complexity of each patient with NES and for the diagnosis to reveal itself over time.
