Telling Your Therapist You Believe In Psychics

(1/4) > >>

Racquel43:
I wanted to ask the forum, how have you all went about talking about your experiences with your therapists? It’s a topic I tend to shy away from but I feel my psychic binges from back in the day was an important part of my life and cultivated me into the person I am today. The topic needs to be addressed. I have had a number of predictions manifested some that cannot be guessed at all so I wholeheartedly believe that psychics are real but how have you all addressed this topic without being forced to question the legitimacy of your beliefs.

Thank you

Oh thats interesting, I'm training to be a therapist - I think i would see it as a self soothing behaviour, an unhelpful coping mechanism if you were having lots of reads rather than question your beliefs.

That’s exactly what I’m hoping is how therapists reacts. Thank you. Not to down play the beliefs someone has but again everyone is different.

Just FYI:

Can confirm, this is how my therapist reacted to my psychic reading habit. When I lapse, her reaction is “how can you be gentle to yourself?” “What do you need that you are lacking at the moment?”

I can’t remember how the conversation came up with mine (I shy away from it too), but come to find out she believes in psychics as well and it’s interesting hearing her stories. It actually helped me stop getting readings. I think it just helped to have someone in real life to talk to. She doesn’t know about my binge, however.
