However, depending on the givens one work from, it's not surprising how such views can arise.
For example, I do have a belief in the paranormal. This increases the amount of possibilities here. This person isn't a part of the "original body spirit", a concept that has it's own implicit assumptions, such as, the fact that a body has one, or that it has one. This person has had a instance of cryptoamnesia. This person is a psychic, and picked up just enough of that language from an outside source to be able to piece together that sentence. If you believe in some sort of collective conciousness, you've got another possible source.
All of the above may be possible, assuming you believe in the initial assumptions required. Unfortunately, without audiotapes, or transcripts of sessions, I can't really discern what's going on, nor do I know what assumptions may have lead to the conclusions of the therapist in question, or any ulterior motives, for that matter.
There is some study on what you are describing in the last paragraph, which may make matters have a bit more leeway, but it's still too early to really tell. However, if anyone wants any credit, in any context, they should be ready and willing to put their money where their mouth is. This shouldn't be an offensive concept or statement either. I think it should hold true pretty unilaterally.
