Kai Dickens: 我最初对老年痴呆症患者能够进行心灵感应持怀疑态度，但这项研究让我改变了看法。许多来信讲述了与患有老年痴呆症的亲人进行心灵感应的经历，这让我开始相信心灵感应的真实性，并意识到许多人因为害怕不被理解而不敢公开谈论这种经历。 Catherine Ellis: 许多人来信讲述了与患有老年痴呆症或痴呆症的亲人之间发生的看似心灵感应的沟通经历。这些经历非常相似，促使我们采访了丹·格克，他与患有老年痴呆症的妻子之间发生了非同寻常的心灵感应沟通。 Dan Gerke: 我的妻子在56岁时被诊断出患有老年痴呆症。随着病情发展，她逐渐失去了说话能力。令人惊讶的是，在那之后，我开始能够通过心灵感应与她进行沟通。起初，我感到震惊，但后来我逐渐适应了这种新的沟通方式。我们通过心灵感应交流，解决了很多实际问题，例如如何帮助她如厕和上车。我相信我与的是妻子的更高自我或灵魂，而不是她受疾病影响的意识。这种沟通方式也让我与其他老年痴呆症患者建立了联系，他们似乎能够感知到我能够接收他们的想法。我开始帮助其他老年痴呆症患者及其家人进行心灵感应沟通。在与妻子的心灵感应交流中，最让我感动的是与我已故的父亲进行交流，这让我更加相信人与人之间超越语言和时空的联系。我还建议老年痴呆症患者的照顾者们要照顾好自己，不要孤立自己，寻求支持和帮助。老年痴呆症不仅是患者的疾病，也是照顾者的疾病。 Kai Dickens: 通过与丹·格克的访谈，我们了解到老年痴呆症患者与亲人之间可能存在一种超越语言的沟通方式——心灵感应。这种沟通方式挑战了我们对沟通、存在和意识边界的传统认知。同时，我们也探讨了照顾老年痴呆症患者的现实情感、爱的持久性以及丹的经历如何引起其他正在经历痴呆症和丧失的人的共鸣。

Shownotes Transcript

Can we still connect with our loved ones when memory fades and language disappears? In this tender and eye-opening episode, The Telepathy Tapes coordinator Katherine Ellis sits down with Dan Georke, whose wife Denise lost her ability to speak due to early-onset Alzheimer’s. What followed was something extraordinary: Dan believes their bond transformed into telepathic communication.

As Denise’s verbal language faded, Dan began sensing clear thoughts and emotions from her—deep, complex messages conveyed without a single word. Their story challenges everything we assume about communication, presence, and the boundaries of consciousness.

We also explore the emotional realities of caregiving, the lasting nature of love, and how Dan’s experiences have resonated with others navigating dementia and loss. This episode is a moving reminder that connection doesn’t always need words—and sometimes, it transcends them entirely.
