New Yorkers are ditching therapists for psychics: ‘I just kind of gave up’
NY POST ^ | Published Oct. 9, 2023, | By Alexandra Klausner

Some New York area residents are fed up with their therapists, ditching their shrinks for psychics who give them “real” guidance instead.

Aria D’Amore, 35, an artist and model living in Jersey City, was dissatisfied with therapy for nearly 30 years, so she decided to seek guidance from an intuitive healer practicing tarot and astrology.

“I just kind of gave up on therapy after a while because I don’t find it helpful,” D’Amore told The Post.

“Therapists are in no rush to get your problems figured out,” she added. “It drags on. It’s a very long process.”

In fact, D’Amore doesn’t think therapy is ideal “for many people” due to the “cost barrier.”

Aria D’Amore says she quit therapy because she didn’t find it helpful. “Seeing a therapist every week is like a habit, like they want you to keep coming back. It’s almost like an addiction in a strange way,” she said.

D’Amore also believes therapists “are very disconnected from their patients,” especially those who chose a “more artistic life path.”

“That divide will lead to disconnect at best, judgment at worst,” she said.

Aria D'Amore said that seeing a psychic did more for her than therapy ever did.

NYC psychic Dante Sabatino, 55, who has been reading tarot cards for over 40 years, told The Post he’s seen an uptick in people seeking alternative healing during the pandemic”

“A lot of people have just been seeking out more into the unknown and more kinds of healing from different modalities, including tarot, astrology and all the other ones,” Sabatino explained.

Before finding her “own internal compass” through her psychic, D’Amore began a traditional psychotherapy journey when she was 5 after her parents divorced. As an adult, she saw several therapists but felt “frustrated” by the process.

I went to a psychiatrist for a couple of months, years ago. Their number one go to is, how does that make you feel? I decided I can do that on my own.

My spirit guidance counselor told me I was actually a thetan from billions of years ago and the evil Xenu nuked me in a volcano which transformed me into my thetan self and that's why I'm so screwed up and if I joined the Group, I would be rich and successful like Tom Cruise. I feel so much better knowing all of this. Everything seems to check out. They're legit. Nothing funny going on at all. Once I get my auditing session, I will feel just fine. I know it.

I’ll see if I can get her to ditch liberalism, but she doesn’t also have to give up her “artistic life path,” does she?

“Some New York area residents are fed up with their therapists...”

There’s a WHOLE ARMY of people in NY City who make their living off the idiocy of rich leftists. However, it sounds like a few of them are FINALLY starting to figure this out, after 60 years or so.

You can’t get me near an ouija board.

Knew a couple that believed they were connected to a spiritual guide. They had a party and we all took turns messing with it.

My friends wife talked me I to trying it with her. We asked a few basic questions and asked if the “entity” communicating with us had a name. It spelled out what I can only describe as something you’d expect from a horror movie.

My friend asked about the intentions and the planchette went to one side of the board, then shot out from under our fingers and stopped at the opposite end of the board. There’s no way either of us made that happen.

I’m not given to unscientific stuff, but that experience was enough to make me wonder. I’ll never go near one again.

ditching their shrinks

Well, shrinks in New York are required to pretend that homosexuality is normal under threat of losing their licenses.

(I’ll never go near one again)

The belief in “spirits” that people attach to them opens a door to dark principalities and powers.

Too many stories like what you experienced.

Out of the frying pan, into the fire.

Getting involved with the demonic is no improvement.
