'ADDICTED TO PSYCHIC COUNSELLING? '

Rebecca Mills from London (Contact Member) -

Has contacting psychics started to rule your life?

Are you relying on a psychic to help you make serious or trivial life choices, such as in your career, love life or what you should do on your day off?

Does the thought of giving up psychic readings scare you?

Has your reader / friends / family suggested that you are too reliant on psychic advise?

Has getting psychic readings begun to seriously affect you financially?

Hello

I'm currently researching a documentary for US television looking at the growing phenomena of psychic addiction - people who develop a costly and emotionally draining addiction to using psychics.

If you consider yourself to be developing an addiction to using psychics, or know someone you’re concerned might be, then I'd very much like to hear from you. Also if you have any suggestions for any other people whom you consider a positive or negative force in fighting psychic addictions I'd also love to hear about them too. We are only looking for people based in the USA for a shoot that will start late August.

Personally, I have been walking a spiritual, shamanistic and conscious path for the last year, but would like to stress that this film will have neither a pro or negative stance on the issue of the paranormal. It’s the harmful addiction that we will be striving to get to the root of in the film.

I can be reached at rebecca.mills@itn.co.uk. Many thanks for taking the time to read this…any and all help gratefully received!

Best Wishes

Rebecca

I didn't know that there is such a thing as psychic addiction. Well guess that can't be helped, too much of everything is bad. Just like what I've observed here in the forums as people are always asking where can they contact a psychic to give them a reading about their trip and business. I don't believe in them either and I like to do things on my own and most of the times the results are favorable. You are the master of your life don't rely too much on people who can't master their own.

I agree that I am also often amazed at the direction psychic counselling and advice is leading folks to. It is no doubt that many people consider psychics to hold nothing but the whole key to their lives.

It has been suggested that following a given spiritual path will enable one to be in touch with their emotions and feelings and thereby help you be in control of how events unfold in your life.

I am interested in watching that documentary when everything is through.

All of us get into doing certain things without the thought that this could soon turn into some form of addiction nowhere within our imaginations. Within no time, you get hooked to doing it and feel that something could be amiss every time if fails to be part of routine.

This should be an interesting documentary to watch out for. It will shade enough light especially on psychic addiction.

Old saying, "to much of anything is good for nothing." Anything can be considered as a drug once used in excess and especially if it is used for particular purposes, such as, calming the body, relieving stress, and quite simple, it is basically all about just making yourself feel good about the future, or at least the present. Therefore, psychic counseling could be considered as much a drug as, anti-depressants.

I don't know if such addiction or mania indeed exist. Probably their just great fanatics of such psychic readings. They might be deceived by such obvious readings and believing it for real. Some of these psychics are professional and not in being psychic but being a lier and con-artists.

Being "addicted" to psychic thing does not guarantee what we really want to happen in our lives or become of in the future. We are the makers of our own destiny.

Comment #7 Nico (63.176.159.7) -

Anything that is done in excess are called addiction, and there a very long list of addiction types. And probably one of the strangest addiction to ever happen to anyone is the psychic addiction, where one can't get enough of reading their future and the likes which are too many to elaborate.

If ever you suffer from this kind of addiction, it is best that you seek for counseling to help you get out of your addiction.

Comment #8 Rudolph (63.176.159.231) -

I have not of psychic reading addiction till now, and i never thought that there might be lots people who got addicted to this practice.

Know what, it is ok, in my opinion to consult a psychic, but please, let us always bear in mind that we are the master of out fate, what to come depends on our choices and actions. You can choose to make those predictions as a warning but never let it dictate your life.

Comment #9 Nono (63.176.159.168) -

Maybe they are not addicted, they just want to have their readings in a regular basis :), i have to agree that whatever that is people are likely to patronize and entertain depend largely on themselves and they are also the sole responsible on whatever outcome may be.

I just hope that this people know what they are dealing to and dealing with. Those predictions are just predictions, do not let them overrule you.

Comment #10 Dean (63.176.159.151) -

Those people who are addicted to what these psychics have to say about their live are those who are uncertain about their future. They believe so much in fate and destiny so much rather than creating and living their own choice of path. I don't agree with Nono that its entertaining when people's decisions are tainted with these psychic prediction instead of what they really want to do themselves. And even if you say that it won't overrule you it will still affect you in some way hearing it even its something good or bad.

Comment #11 Shiva (63.176.159.58) -

It's a compulsion. They'd like to hear what they want to hear and don't want to let go of what they hold on to. So they jump from one psychic to another until they seem to getting it. Then soon the cycle starts again. Maybe we should gather the psychics to help these people tab into CONSCIOUSNESS and the PRESENT. The answers we're looking for are already within us!

Comment #12 Vistaj (63.176.159.244) -

Maybe it is some sort of abnormal behavior or addiction or compulsion or whatever it is actually doesn't matter anymore. For me, patronizing this kind of practice must be done in moderation.

We cannot make this people stop. It is their right, but we can just suggest to them that it should be done moderately, and that everything that tends to come in our life is the result of what we do now.

Comment #13 Eve (63.176.159.253) -

The answers, indeed, are located directly inside of us. Everything is a cycle, and when the winds of a cycle begin to change, morphing into less rather than into more, a person tends to be very much disheartened by the outcome.

Comment #14 Eve (63.176.159.211) -

Psychic addiction is ever present. There is certainly, not a single bit of doubt to it. Anyone that considers themselves to be a person that requires to know what it about to happen in their life, would surely be considered as an addict of the psychic readings.

Comment #15 Eve (63.176.159.215) -

Wanting to know more and more about one's future, is surely something that many can easily fall under a person's grasp when they realize the benefits of speaking to a psychic.

Comment #16 Eve (63.176.159.53) -

It is so very easy to become addicted to anything that alters the mind state, and psychic readings do just that.

Comment #17 Flavio (63.176.159.232) - Wed Dec 23 20:47:23 2009

I think people who wants to escape the reality of the present are those who patronize this kind of psychic readings. I hate to say this but it would be much better if people tries to refrain from doing such things and just focus on what is for real.

Those things on the future, let them be, and let us just face each day with a smile and consider each day as a pleasant surprise.

I love psychics, it is always good to know of the future prior to reaching there.

Comment #19 Drake (63.176.159.183) - Thu Jan 14 21:50:26 2010

I am a self confessed psychic addict, I am always thinking of knowing what is going to happen in the future and to know what the future may bring forth for me. And I think I am facing a very serious problem now, my husband is forcing me stop but I do not know how to resist it. Please help, i need some advice on how to get myself out of this psychic activities.

Comment #20 Anang (63.176.159.230) - Mon Feb 8 20:28:18 2010

Just think of your husband forcing you to do so. Just think of the problem you will have with your husband if you continue with your activity. And just think of all those money you are wasting and the time that you are spending. You can try diverting your mind to something else. A certain hobby, or try gardening, go out and have fun with friends. There are indeed lots of things that you can try to forget about psychics.

Comment #21 Bello (109.111.97.80) - Sun Mar 7 21:26:17 2010

That is very true, there are indeed lots of other things to do aside from doing those stuffs that we do not know if real or not. I would rather spend my time on something productive and not to those stuffs that might cause me and my husband's break up. Hope that all of those self confessed psychic addicts finally get over their addiction and start a new. Good day.
