I lucked out when I called my Intuitive yesterday and she said she had a cancellation this morning. I jumped at the chance to see her since I had been thinking of going (okay obsessing) ever since I was 8 months pregnant.
Let me explain the difference (at least from my perspective) between an Intuitive and a Psychic.

An Intuitive gives you direction in life for the things you already know. For instance, she lets you see the stuff you have already been telling yourself but too blind or scared to see it for yourself – hence providing directions into yourself and for your life. She also will tell you that you have free will and things can change if you so choose. A Psychic tries to predict your future or tell you how it is going to be – regardless of free will.

Now that that is cleared up – let me proceed. Another great thing about an Intuitive is that she is kind of like a Therapist except she already knows what is going on in your life so you don’t have to pay her 30 sessions worth to reveal it, she just tells it like it is at this moment in your life. It is pretty amazing.

For instance – today she told me that I need to stop trying to control everything and stop trying to be perfect and that I needed to find help (not like from a therapist, but like a nanny). And it seems like she was on the right track given my last post about losing control. That was also one of my biggest reasons for going to see her. I hit my breaking point on Friday – see this post for that saga.

[As I write this I look on the baby monitor to find my son all swaddled in his crib laughing and cooing – just hanging out after nap time.]

I’ve got to figure this out! I was basically instructed to not think any farther into the future than 1 week ahead – so that I can make a schedule and plan – and start to dial back in my life. She said your job is just to focus on the baby and you for now, then worry about the next year, etc.

I’m really scared to get help. My issue is control and my husband’s is trust. Not exactly the winning combination to start letting strangers with exceptional credentials and recommendations into our home let alone help contribute to raising our child. I will start slow and figure out when my husband and I can trade off days so that I can go into work and he can work from home.

I was also instructed to find 3 people that I could call in my time of “holy crap I can’t take another minute” mode. I’ve got to think this through – since besides being a total control freak one of the other reasons I hate asking for help is that I hate burdening or obligating people. I’ve got a lot to think about…stay tuned and thanks for listening.
