Missing Persons Cases
This week I was asked for my input on a missing persons case. I have to admit, I was very flattered that someone had so much confidence in my abilities that they would potentially put someone’s life in my hands. I did do it and came up with some details that I hope are helpful. However, I also hope that I don’t get many requests like this.
It takes a special person to be able to do missing persons work. First, you need to have a temperament where you don’t let the sadness of the situation suck the life out of you. I can’t imagine dealing with that sort of tragedy day in, day out. The emotions surrounding that sort of thing are problematic, anyway. It can be hard to concentrate and get a clear view of things when you are being bombarded by the grief, terror, and desperation radiating from the missing person’s loved ones. Thankfully, in this particular case, I was asked by a third party, so I was shielded from the rawness of those emotions. Another factor to watch out for is preconceived notions about what happened. I used to watch a lot of cop shows and have a lot of ideas about what tends to happen to missing persons. I had to back up a bit on a couple of things that popped into my head and evaluate whether they were psychic impressions or my own fears for the missing person. Finally, there is the pressure of knowing that how well you do your job could make a difference in whether that person lives or dies. Psychic abilities flow better when you are relaxed. Having major pressure on to do well is the last thing you want when the stakes are that high.
Psychics who do this kind of work and do it well seriously have my respect.
