Doing Psychic Readings – My Way
Over the years, doing psychic readings has been part of my work as a counselor. I have offered readings on a professional basis to many individuals. I have also used intuition along with my careful clinical thinking to create treatment plans for my therapy patients.
My psychic readings are not what some may think of as a typical reading. I have never professed to be a fortune teller even when people have wanted me to tell them what lay ahead. I could not tell you the daily number, and I definitely refuse to be a doomsday seer. I don’t pick up those energies. What I “see,” or more accurately “sense,” are impressions about the person and a clairsentience (clear knowing) about who they are, what has gone on, what is going on, and what might go on in their lives.
As a clinical social worker, I subscribe to the value of self-determination that is a foundation of social work practice. While we cannot always guarantee that we will get what we want, we can decide how to behave, managing our own actions, knowing that certain behaviors are likely to serve up certain responses and consequences. I present my readings with these ideas in mind. Therefore, I emphasize that those being read do not suspend their own self-determination and judgment for the insights brought forth by the reader. I believe that doing an intuitive reading for another person is a real and important responsibility and must be done with respect and caution not to assume that the reader knows what is better for you than you do. The best psychics are guides. Sometimes Herb, my psychic mentor who taught me to do psychic readings from a counseling perspective, would say that sometimes he saw or knew something that would “Blow their socks off” and once in a while in my readings socks fly off. But Herb stressed that the importance of the reading was the counseling benefit to the client. That is what I value the most.
I will give you information that hopefully will find intriguing and helpful. But–ultimately you get to choose how you want to be and what you want to do. My readings most always pick up some facts and some ideas that are important to my subject; However, as my mentor Herb Dewey taught me years ago–there can be twenty important things about your subject and two readers will pick up ten different ones.
Reading is an art to be sure; but it is one that uses skills that can be taught and developed by anyone. As a practicing psychic I am often considered by my clients to have some special power that they don’t have. While it may be true that I have a larger dose of fascination with this topic than some, you possess the same ability to use intuition and be your own “reader.”
