The show focused on grief and the role psychic mediums may play. If you're unfamiliar with the different types of psychics or psychic abilities, Mediums (also known as Ghost Whisperers) are able to use their abilities to communicate with people that have passed away. Popular shows depicting psychic mediums are: Lisa Williams Life Among the Dead, Ghost Whisperer, any of the John Edward shows and of course Medium.
Do I think Psychics are the new therapists? Yes and no. I believe there is a need for clinical psychology, which has always been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. The pull to go back to studying Psychology to one day have my own practice is still strong. For years, I had a constant battle that left my psychic development in a stasis because my rational mind struggled to comprehend my psychic self. On the other hand, my spiritual self could not dismiss the experiences I had where I played a role in passing on a message to someone from a loved one that had passed. My rational self witnessed first hand the level of of healing that could come about when someone believed they received a message from their loved one in spirit. I couldn't comprehend it, yet I couldn't dismiss it either.
