Personal Essay: How Adrianne Changed My Life

Improved Essays
1. “Adrianne read my cards in NYC years ago and I am here to say, it was a major therapy session for me. I never brought it up but she found it in my reading that my issues were an extension of the abuse and the shame I carried from childhood from both of my parents. They were alcoholics and my mother was especially abusive. I was beaten for no reason after she suffered a hangover. My relationships suffered too and I was an alcoholic and I took massive amounts of pills for depression. She told me this abuse was like “the blob” it was squeezing me out of my psyche and running my life. She was so comforting and nurturing I felt met and heard for the first time ever. In short she had me see a therapist and she uncovered my dream of wanting to be a artist. She had me go to AA and paint, and keep her parents away unless they sought therapy. …show more content…
I am married, and my husband is also an artist and teaches part time and he too had issues and I met him at AA. Adrianne did a couple reading for us recently and it was very comforting. To think, for the first time in my life I am loved and accepted for me with all my faults and talents. I learned my life was not about wasting time to “win” people over or be a people pleaser for a crumb of love. Those days are over. I love this woman so much she is my angel! She is not only the real deal, she knows what creates our angst or where the core of the problems started. I have real love and acceptance in my life now, instead of suicide, and I have health instead of addictions, and I have creations that people pay for and hang in their homes verses begging for a crumb of acceptance. She is a MUST. This is no fair psychic at a festival, this is the REAL psychic. I advise everyone to try her at least once. We have sent her many referrals in which my husband and I are thanked for this referral and again, she continues to help others too.

When we arrived, I heard kids laughing as they splashed each other in the pool, and saw a group of older guys wearing bright red t-shirts with red shoe laces. I watched for a minute, absorbing everything in like a sponge.…

    She helped me understand better what autism is and that even though the spectrum may be the same in all the individuals with autism, they will most likely have different characteristics. Personally, even though these individuals require more attention and help, they should be loved. Loved so much that they know that they may be different but are very much loved. We must be careful how we refer to these individuals and to ensure that we are taking good care of them. We should not be afraid of vaccines, because they are not the ones that cause autism.…
