I don't see ESP as a gift. It often feels like a double edged sword, gift/curse.
It took me 30 + years to come terms with it and accept that I was normal and it was a normal part of the way I am. For the first 10 years of my life it was semi hidden in my own secret world of childhood and imaginings. You have a lot more license as a child. It became more painful and difficult to hide as a teenager. At a time when you're desperately trying to fit in with peers. In my 20's I fought to deny it by burying myself in trying to be a perfect wife/mother.
By my early 30's it was in my face. It was in my children. My son (at 4) was seeing/talking to his grandparents who had died of cancer when he was a toddler. I began tentatively exploring the other parts of myself and found other people like me. I challenged it and constantly sort evidence to prove it to myself. Five years later I began to embrace it. Doing so cost me my marriage but for the first time in my life I felt whole and ok being me.
Through my psychic work I have met and became close friends with intelligent professional people who have similar abilities. Together we have spent many evenings freely discussing/debating/exploring the capacities of the mind.
I firmly believe that there is nothing special about me. Anyone, given the interest and opportunity, can access the same abilities within themselves. Working in this field has humbled me. It has taught me tolerance and reverence of life (physical and all the spaces in between). My ability has enabled me to walk many miles (briefly) in many shoes. To read the stories behind the covers of the books. I feel incredibly privileged by the trust my clients place in me. I take the responsibility of my work seriously.
