When dead relatives, crack jokes at your expense. Being psychic gives them a mic, whether you like it or not. Also, Psychic Corner brings CIA hired psychic Fionna Johansson into focus, where, "Three out of those eight officers found missing bodies through the use of a psychic". She proves value, of clairvoyant intuition.

NOTES:

William Wordsworth, poem "The World Is Too Much With Us"

"And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers;
For this, for everything, we are out of tune;
It moves us not. Great God! I’d rather be
A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;"

"Fionna Johansson never thought her psychic gifts would lead her to aid law enforcement, private investigators and the DA in solving cold cases. Johansson has been a practicing medium, clinical hypnotherapist, and holistic healer for over 25 years. Her work with countless celebrities, corporations and individuals has led her to be known as the "Persian Medium" with over 1 million Instagram followers. [...]

the CIA conducted a study to legitimize how viable and valuable using mediums could be.

Out of eleven officers at different police agencies interviewed, eight officers said using a psychic provided them with otherwise unknown information.

Three out of those eight officers found missing bodies through the use of a psychic.

While it can be seen as a scam to use psychics in cases, Johansson suggests to heavily research the individual and fact check with their previous clients before hiring them in your investigation."

This is The House on Valencia Street. This is a place where ghosts & psychics, with PTSD, exist, & I'm talking about it. Share time with a rare survivor, walking back to haunted rooms and space being claimed from long ago. This is from the survivor's perspective, communicated as I see fit, in a way that feels right, for me.

I do not offer advice here, I share what worked for me. I am not a professional therapist, this is just one case study, one perspective. Please seek professional help, if mental health issues need attention.
