The answer

Whispers [Wasaweis] concerning creed do not harm their possessor, and struggling against them and detesting them are signs of sincere faith. Writing down these whispers does not aid in the cure; rather, it may increase them. The optimal solution is to ignore them, unless trusted physicians determine that it would be beneficial for the treatment.
