It reminds me of MDMA Therapy - the use of a psychoactive agent to trick the body into dealing with a stressor, and thereby allowing the individual to get on with their lives.

Now you're talking!! Forget therapists, shrinks and psychics. All you need is a nice big bag of mdma!!

what about fortune tellers, what do people think of them?

+ arguing about physics & therapists is a bit pointless is it not - people go to physics to be told about deceased who they were close too, etc. they're looking for that.
whereas visiting therapists are about overcoming the problem on your own, through yourself - you're not looking to here about the deceased being happy or whatever

each to their own & all that
don't really get the outrage & being offended on others behalf

Anyone who claims to be speaking to a dead loved one of yours is a piece of sub human filth.

Especially if they do it for money.

Oh and if that seems offensive, the spirits are saying something...

I'm getting a letter 'F', does that mean anything? And a 'U'? F and U.

If someone told me they were talking to me long lost relative then I'd laugh in their face. It's little different to priests acting as a conduit for some god or other

Stupid people. Don't they know that all you have to do is split open a Lyon's teabag, make some tea and then read the leaves at the end of the cup? So much cheaper.

I agree to a fair degree, it is just that some people may beso bereaved, so distraught and traumatised that they may be vunerable to these leeches. These insidious little vampires capatilising on the worst day of someone's life.

They should be declassified from 'human' to something far lower. They are absolute dirt in my eyes.

I know an IACP accredited psychotherapist who will charge you €70 to play in a sandbox. Seriously.

All sorts of people enjoy a financial benefit from misery - undertakers, psychotherapists, bailiffs - it's not a legitimate criticism in itself.

If your argument is that psychics are quacks, I'd agree with you. But there are plenty of quacks out there. Let people do what they want with their money, their choice.

aw i miss the psychics on tv3 they were such a laugh while hanging with the boardies

It is a valid criticism. At least some therapists care and really help. Medium is deliberately exploiting the vulnerable. Every time. It's all a lie.

Psychics is just silly nonsense. Mediums are below contempt.

That said those quacks are dirt too. Just because other people are awful doesn't give them an ok.

Those EXPLOITING the vulnerable, as opposed to undertakers who are profiting but necessary, are what I'm giving out about.

On my phone sorry if gibberish.

Went to one once, was offered a cheap 'basic' and a more expensive 'detailed' fortune telling...struck me as a cold reading exercise, nothing at all paranormal about it.

As opposed to the slightly paranormal or very paranormal readings

Anyone who buys into this crap is stoopid

Ah come off it. How could you even think that someone with a name like Madame Bridget was trying to rip you off?
