Watched a series yesterday on Netflix while I was packing yesterday. It’s called something like Marriage Boot Camp, for couples that were on the show Bridezillas, who are now having rocky marriages.
Yes, one of my secret pleasures is trash tv.
Anyway, on the 3rd or 4th episode one of the counselors was telling people how she perceives them. They looked a bit shocked; it was as if someone had peeked into their soul and exposed their secrets.
Not the case of course, she knew the people well after only a few days since she was privvy to their actions and reactions, their files, their interactions with the other couples and a one on one session she had with them in the beginning.
It struck me in a funny way. I do the same thing when I meet or pass someone on the street; even talk to them over the phone. Or even connect to someone they know.
While she was talking it felt like a person finally connected with me; so strange. Someone finally understood how I felt or see things; of course it’s not, and she is a doctor of psychology trained to know her clients well; that didn’t register with me; only the words directed to each participant.
I guess it felt like ‘magic’ to me as well and for a few minutes I had the same feeling the participants did since it felt so amazing.
After I realized that she was professionally summarizing their profile in a concise manner and giving it to them in a complete reality check after all that work she did, then knowing I do it by just looking or hearing a person took me a few minutes to comprehend. It was the closest I ever got to understanding what it is I do and how unusual it is.
Guess that’s why the term ‘psychic’ makes me cringe; there’s so much more that comes through and is involved in what I have and what I do, and have no idea what the ‘title’ of it is.
If anyone out there knows or has a suggestion please let me know!
