I would simply work with the phantom limb as real and heal it. The pain is
real to the client. So, facilitating its healing will fit the model of the
client, will it not? You can probably find some stuff on the internet about
Kirlian photography and the presence of the lost limb's aura, even though
the physical limb is gone. That will lend weight to the idea of healing it
energetically and allow them to develop it as a tool for other-than-physical
tasks, such as rapport, emotional cues, and sensitivity to their own states
of being, electromagnetic fields, or whatever. You can liken it to the well
known phenomenon of people who lose a sense and their other sense heighten
to give them information that was previously outside of consciousness.

hope that helps,
