Kind Friends that turn Ugly {Psychic Addiction}

 

Recently a favorite and beloved client found them selves in a crisis.  They called as many psychics as they could for their opinion.  This they reasoned was “getting a full picture” of what was really going on.  Unfortunately, within a short amount of time, they spent over $300.00.  Rent came, and so did the phone bill.  The shocking truth of what this client had done to themself was more then they could bear.  The only option affordable was to turn to a minister at a near by church.  The minister explained, E.S.P. was unproven, and the Bible clearly points out ANY form of prophesy is evil. 

 

PSYCHIC COUNCELING/  CHURCH COUNCELING 

 

  • Now Client had the Anxiety of Hell. 
  • Broke, in despair, Client started an online "WHY PSYCHICS SUCK list
  • Most of the psychics on the list were the people that consoled Client.
  • Of course, as bill paying citizens, the Psychics charged for their services.
  • The Minister who consoled client, was paid well, also, given a free home to live in by the congregation he serviced.
  • Never the less, {the Minister pointed out to Client,} "If Psychics were truly Spiritual, they would not charge money for their services."
  • This made sense to the Client, who believed the Minister was preaching for Free. 

CLIENT STARTS A HATE PSYCHIC LIST

 

Just as some recovered smokers become disgusted seeing anyone smoke, or a recovering alcoholic looks in disdain at anyone that drinks, my client started an Online “Why Psychics Suck list.     Here was the website Title: 

 

 Distant Viewing IS An Unproven Phenomenon.  Psychics Cruelly Console.  They RIP OFF your money!   Never Believe In them!  A HOAX ! A Cruel Hoax On Desperate Believers. Now YOU Know !”

 

To read between the lines, “desperate” is:

 

  • compulsive spending,
  • addiction,
  • refusal to stop hands from reaching for the phone
  • Spending the rent money to find answers

 

Sadly, this is the story behind so many Psychic Black Lists.

 

 

PLEASE KNOW THE SIGNS OF AN ADDICTED CLIENT

 

  • Constant emails that demand attention
  • Hysterical attitude of emotional ups and downs
  • Too frequent calls, that ask the same question
  • Irrational anger that demands truth, becoming angry when you give it

 

SIGNS FOR CLIENTS OF PSYCHIC ABUSE

 

·         Psychic Calls your home without an appointment

·         Psychic bullies and creates fear if you call another psychic

·         Psychic makes appointments for you  with out asking you.

·         Psychic gives your name and private information out. 

 

 

 

TWO KINDS OF PSYCHIC READERS

 

No matter what the gift of the Intuitive Reader, there are 2 kinds:

 

  • Motivation Speakers – tell you what you want to hear.
  • Truth speakers – Despite bad feedback, they tell what they see.

 

WHAT IS PSYCHIC DIPLOMACY?:

 

  • The more experience one has with the public, the more one learns how to say harsh things, in soft compassion, that softens the impact of truth. 

 

  • Good Psychic diplomacy also understands when enough is enough. Like a therapist, or minister, or good mentor of any field, enlightment should not be just about pure money, but knowing how to inspire and give clarity….without burn out.   SOMETIMES LESS IS BEST.

 

  • Good Psychic Diplomacy understands the danger signs for themselves, as well as for their clients, of psychic addiction.  Knowing when to close the door…….saves everyone in the long run from hurt and slander.

ALSO, a good psychic does not try to keep you on the phone . . . even though it hurts your business on Keen!

Quick, fast and accurate readings are a indication of a good psychic.

Sorry youhad the experience.  Personally, I think the person is out of control, and needs the help of a medical professional.

I think what the seeker needs to keep in mind when getting a reading is that the reader is giving their perspective on what they're sensing (or viewing) and that the advice given is just that, advice, and nothing more.

I have found that whenever someone is experiencing a crisis (and most of the time the crisis is related to relationships AND finances) they will seek reasurrance and expect the consultant to magicaly fix the problem not realizing that they alone are responsible for the direction their life takes.

I do think readings can be very benefical during times of confusion and crisis, after all it never hurts to have a friend along when things aren't going well. But I also think that the individual must step back and assess the information and not panic when nothing comes of the options because no action was taken on the clients part to take responsibility for getting life back on track.

Unfortunately, when dealing with the public, one sets themself up for redicule irregardless of the best intentions.

Ive had people upset at me, after I felt I had read well to them, but then my energy is used up. Or I have to go to the little cowgirls room. So I end the call very politely. I really think its rude to talk to people while doing your business. Plus because I have health issues I have to time myself otherwise I am just wiped out. I have had peeps upset at me..most of them are very good about understandint if I say I have to go, I have to go. They find it odd that a psychic would end a call. At the same time, I usually have more then answered the questions and feel I am not here to be totally leaned on but to learn from. Its interesting!

I think if you know someone is caling AND IS IN DISTRESS always GIVE AND IT WILL BE GIVEN. sOMETIMES WHAT WE DO AND WHAT WE SAY ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. tHAT IS JUST NOT THIS SITUATION BUT IN MANY. i AM SURE IF YOU KNEW a PERSON would have dark days because of calling. WOULD YOU still receive the caller?

# re: Kind Friends that turn Ugly {Psychic Addiction} @ Monday, October 20, 2008 10:28 AM

Every person that is calling in distress...is unfortunately not compassionate back Sharpist.  Would I receive the caller in distress, their hysterical emails, and their repeated same question on the phone that wanted truth but became angry if I gave it?  No.


I would learn from my mistake.  There are signs of mental addiction….that require intervention and tough love.  Because these are the people that can hurt me in the future, by trying to be “accurate” and “compassionate.”  


In their absolute need to prove who is “right”, they will do anything for revenge if the answer {or phone bill} is not what they want to hear or see..  I can’t change that.  But I can prevent it from happening to me again by seeing the danger signs.

Great blog. Thanks for sharing. If someone seems too addictive, needy or irrational, I usually pass altogether just for this reason. More easily done in private practice than here, but it usually only takes once to feel that warning sign.  Sorry for your experience but the silver lining is the lesson you got and that you shared it with the rest of us.
Blessings,
Julie

# Addiction is a chronic @ Thursday, April 16, 2009 4:31 PM

Addiction is a chronic, often relapsing brain disease that causes compulsive drug seeking and use despite harmful consequences to the individual that is addicted and to those around them.

Drug addiction is a brain disease because the abuse of drugs leads to changes in the structure and function of the brain. Although it is true that for most people the initial decision to take drugs is voluntary, over time the changes in the brain caused by repeated drug abuse can affect a persons self control and ability to make sound decisions, and at the same time send intense impulses to take drugs.

"Good fast readings" (answering one commenter above) are less necessarily a sign of a good psychic (though a psychic with ethics shouldn't offer spells and other things to keep the client on the line)as more so a sign of an addicted client. The addicted travels from one psychic to another looking for "quick reads" based on soley outcomes and not looking for insight on how to balance their life and relationships. I quit most my business on these psychic keen pages because I couldn't handle feeling like an enabler. I found I was afraid to sign in anymore for who might contact me and the ratings system keeps you enabling them as well. I think what these clients need most is insight readings towards addressing their energy state and how to heal their codependency, fears of abandonment, unrequited love, not feeling good enough. There are also addictions called "love addictions". Many psychic addicts who get readings mostly about love also have love addictions of some sort. Most will not or do not want to take responsibility for their lives or understand outcomes are not in stone, and they create their own happiness / unhappiness.

EFT (emofree.com has a free how-to manual) can help some of these clients to overcome such addictions if they are acknowledged. Some may need to be separated from any spirit attachments taking advantage of the ungrounding energy as well..

God blog though, very true! I found this blog looking up information for a client on other tools other than EFT that can be used to treat addiction to psychics.
