S1 - E17 | Kate embraced her intuitive gifts and found freedom from shame

The Crucible:Conversations for the Curious

Highlight

I grew up seeing spirits, travelling through my dreams, remembering past lives, all kinds of crazy stuff. My grandfather was schizophrenic... So from an early age, I really had a fear that I was just bananas. So I learnt just to keep everything quiet, all the stuff about spirits and past lives and travelling through space and dreams. I've kept all my sensitive stuff as quiet as possible, all my psychic stuff as quiet as possible and I've been ashamed of it most of my life. Finding shamanism... it really helped me land in the life of a shamanic way. Now, living in that world from that way has changed everything for me."
