Catherine MacDonald Psychic Spiritualist Minister Clairvoyant Sociopath Fraud Toronto Ontario

This gentleman is making many erroneous assumptions. I am studying to become a psychotherapist and have finished my first year of studies of a two year program. I am a psychic reader but I do take responsibility what I put out there energetically with the work I do. Because of this awful experience with this gentleman I have returned to school to become better trained in therapeutic methods as intuitive work is a form of counseling that many people seek out.

From what I have learned this gentleman clearly needs mental health care assistance and his doctors will be the ones to diagnose exactly what the problem is. More generally this gentleman's distorted notions that he is being attacked are evidence of delusional thinking. Unfortunately he attacks others and cries foul when they respond to his irrational and personally biased statements.

It seems this gentleman started this thread On October 25, 2008 after his other threads in the Fraud sections of the site that were attacking psychics were removed from this site by the managers. I responded to the thread at that time it was posted and ONLY responded to the thread when this gentleman updated the thread on March 10 and 11 2009. Note that I did not respond until June 2009 so obviously I was not looking to attack this gentleman and was giving time for this whole situation to die down. When I read the thread again though I just felt I needed to restate my understanding of the situation and so I responded.

It seems this gentleman still has an axe to grind so I gather that this will not be the end of it. How is it that this gentleman is being attacked when HE is the individual who seems to initiate the exchanges by continuously updating the thread? Readers need to ask themselves what is it that is triggering this man to continually update this thread. Other posters to the thread even tried to persuade him to move on or use better judgment about his grievance against psychics but that obviously has had no impact.

It is interesting to note that this whole episode started when this gentleman discovered that a past girlfriend no longer wanted him in her life. She had actually moved and found a new boyfriend. So now it seems he is stuck in victim mentality and martyr syndrome. This is where the individual says I am feeling bad but it is someone else's fault. People suffering from Co-dependency often go through this when the person they are co-dependent on no longer allows for that relationship. This is what seems to have happened in the case with this gentleman's ex-girlfriend.

So rather than dealing with his own feelings of rejection and disappointment about the loss of that relationship this gentleman has focused his anger and venom on psychics in general and me specifically. This anger and venom is misplaced. Also the attempt to make another a scapegoat gets in the way of the benefits of therapy over the long-term. Projecting his negativity onto others does for the moment give this gentleman a false sense of satisfaction and power and that is why he continues to lash out. Unfortunately the feeling derived from attacking another to get power and satisfaction is fleeting so the attacks must continue for this gentleman to feel better.

On energetic terms this is a form of energy vampirism (I am sure the reader knows this type of person-- that individual who emotionally and physically drains everyone around them with their dramas) and still this activity does nothing to help this gentleman move forward in his life. This gentleman will continue to try to bring others around him down so he does not feel so bad about himself. As sad is that is it is a reality for many people.

As I said above, if the rants of one disgruntled and obviously unbalanced individual are enough to prevent someone from seeking psychic services then it is obvious that a psychic is not the right practitioner for that individual.

It is my sincere hope that this gentleman continue with the help he claims he is receiving and that he has the ability and support he needs to move on with his life.

This psychic continues to attack me and I resent this intrusion. I'm recovering from heart surgery and months of therapy from depression. She is not a therapist but a manipulative psychic reader.......read all the previous statements and decide for yourself.

I will not respond to this further as I have been getting help for several months and am on a path of recovery with group therapy and medications.

She has no right to this abhorrent behaviour and this clearly shows that she is psychically reading my life and throwing negative energy toward me.

I find this unreasonable and downright hurtful.....

Good Luck and God Bless

This man seems mentally ill and obsessed. It is a shame that the interment enables people with these kinds of issues to annoy, slander and harass others without having to back up what they say in concrete terms.

As a spiritual psychotherapist in training I am quite sure that continued posting to this thread is neither beneficial nor healthy for this gentleman.

That said I will not respond again except to keep saying that I hope this gentleman gets the mental health care that he seems to need.

I'm very hurt and resent this psychic for making such statements about me. She is not a doctor and has no right to make such statements. This is an attempt to discredit me for her business purposes and I'm hopeful this is closely observed.

It is none of her business to make statements about my health and she is out of order in my opinion.

I need to heal and recover from my health challenges without this unreasonable intrusion.

As I'm recovering from my health challenges, I think it is outrageous that this psychic would say these things about me. She has no right to this display abhorrent behaviour and this clearly shows a very poor and insensitive character on her part.

I'm on a path of healing and enjoy reiki, reflexology and accupuncture as well as spiritual retreats.

Good Luck to this psychic...

Like many other individuals in Canada and the US I do take medication for depression that is associated with chronic pain related to Cerebral Palsy and the dosage is mild. Celexa helps with pain management as chronic pain can prevent the body from releasing the proper balance of serotonin and the other natural chemicals the body produces to counteract pain. To manage this psychical problem I choose I take the Celexa.

There is shame in admitting that I do have ongoing health conditions and I do take responsibility to manage my health-mental, physical and spiritual. It is best to use whatever works.

I hope this gentleman can learn to do the same.

He does need professional medical attention. I am afraid he could still be a danger to himself or others.

It seems that continued publishing of his posts on this forum will only reinforce and encourage his emotional imbalance and misplaced anger which is not beneficial to anyone.

I'm just horrified that she would say these things as I'm recovering from depression and recent heart surgery.

This psychic a nothing but a psychic who is hurting me and I hope many people will take note.

I am a cancer survivor and a volunteer at Princess Margaret Hospital.

God Bless.....

This is a proven emotionally unbalanced person. I am a psycho-therapeutic counselor in addition to being a professional intuitive counselor. This gentleman is not capable of levying these types of assessments on me or anybody else.

This gentleman needs serious mental health medical assistance. His comments are highly irrational and personally biased. He needs to consult immediately with his medical health care practitioner or he needs go to his local hospital emergency room and see the on staff psychiatrist. I am still concerned that he has the potential to harm himself or others. I don't think publishing his posts to this forum is beneficial to him or anyone else.

I hope that he will find the help that he needs very very soon.

Again, this psychic is fabricating stories as she is only protecting her selfish interests. If you read all the above comments from the previous reports, I'm certain you will get the picture.

There is no compassion whatsoever on her part and she continues to put me down. I have gone on with my life- knowing that I'm an honest, respected person and she is a loser!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whatever goes around comes around,

Lessons learned!!!!!!!

This client sends out suicidal emails to people and expects them not to respond. I did the right thing and reported it to the police and the police contacted his faminy

Over the time I read for him this client stopped taking medication against his doctors orders and came to myself and another psychic to hear what he wanted. He is obsessed with and ex-girlfriend that moved on with her life and blames psychics for the mess his life is in.

His energy and attitude are a mess and he wonders why the readings became chaotic?

He can maintain whatever view he likes about psychics but he is known for harassing psychics. One took him to court and so now he does this harassment on the web. Too bad he was not charged when the other woman took him to court. Perhaps then he would have gotten the mental help he needs.

That said I do good work for those who are in a balanced mental place or working on themselves to get there. So to work with me clients should be willing to work on themselves and taking care of their medical issues especially in regards to their mental health. If not then there is surely no reason why myself or any other responsible psychic should take them on as a client.

A lesson I learned the hard way.

For readers who want to know check out the many reasonable testimonials or contact the church I work with (find my website to do that). If you decide that one unbalanced person's vendetta is enough to prevent you from trying my services then perhaps a reading or at least a reading with me is not right for you. But before you make that judgment you should have both sides of the story in my opinion.

A Psychic is generally considered to be "for entertainment purposes only". They should never be misconstrued or misperceived as a replacement for professional counselling in any form.

Anyone experiencing emotional or other forms of personal distress to a level where professional help should be, or is being given, should be seeking out other forms of help instead of a psychic reading.

There is only so much that any psychic can give. It is not an exact science nor, is it always possible to be totally and 100% fool proof. Nothing in Life is. Therefore, anyone seeking out a psychic reading should keep the results of a reading in perspective and use your own best judgement in how what you receive during a reading is implemented into your life. It should never be held as the totality or certainty. You, and you alone are responsible for your own life and the choices in it. No psychic can tell you how to live your life or what will happen for certain as nothing in Life is carved in stone. A psychic can only give you tendencies/potentials. She/he can only read those potentials. Those potentials can change with the choices that those involved make thereafter. Again, nothing is carved in stone and tendencies and potentials change with choices made by you and any others involved.

Catherine, I am also a consultant and I highly suggest that if you have not already done so, putting up a disclaimer on your website to the effect that your readings are not to be taken as "expert advice" and should not replace proper and professional advice.

Secondly, I often have clients who I feel may be unable to decipher the difference between what a psychic reading is meant to do and what it can't. More often than not, it is because the client is in great mental/emotional distress at the time. I will often advise them to seek out other professional help and decline doing a consultation/reading for or with them at that point. I know that it is difficult to grasp a client's state of mind in the beginning session but, it appears that after 2 years of consults with this particular client, his depression was there and further consults/readings was obvious. At that point, perhaps it was best to have urged him to seek out further consultation with his healthcare provider. What we do is not infallible and therefore, subject to possible problems for both the client and self under these circumstances.

To The Client With The Complaint:

It appears that you have sought out psychic help not just with Catherine but, also at least one other psychic and my sense is that there were more of them as well. Relying heavily upon psychic for your future, instead of your own best judgements is not a healthy practise for anyone to undertake. This is particularily true when our emotional states are already fragile and vulnerable. You, yourself have stated that you were in a vulnerable position and having already been taken for a large sum of money by another psychic and upset by that experience, it was likely wise for you to have discontinued seeking psychic advice and rely upon the professional help, already being given to you, along with working through your situation and difficulties with your professional healthcare provider to make your own decisions.

A psychic is not a god nor, are we omnipotent and infallible. While we can provide certain pieces of information/insight into the potentials that may occur, your own best judgement and your own actions or lack of them are what create your future and the outcomes of situations in your life. We can never replace that nor, is anything carved in stone in your life. That should always be kept in mind.

Having said all of this, I hope that both will take away a lesson from this experience and go on with their lives in peace and understanding that both of you have learned from one another. Catherine was not the cause of the break-up of this gentleman's relationship. If his reliance upon her readings caused him lack of action in his own life, that is his liability, not hers. On the same hand, Catherine also needs to be more cautious in screening out potential problems in the future, with future clients by recognizing when and where it is appropriate to cut off any further readings and refer those clients to proper professional counsellors instead.

I wish you both well and may you both come to peace within yourselves in this matter, within yourselves, both taking away the lessons from it that have been made apparent.

This is an update for this report as I decided to stand my ground and discredit this psychic.

She calls me suicidal and disturbed because that is her way of defending herself in the risk of losing her credibility.

She forgets to mention that she takes medication for depression.

She gave me readings for two years that were vague and unproductive-I retain the CD recordings of most the sessions.

She never addressed my issues and maintained that my girlfriend still thought the world of me and everything would work out eventually.

She elevated my expectations by maintaining that my life would improve in profound ways- it did not.

She forgets to mention that I am a cancer survivor and a volunteer at Princess Margaret Hospital.

She never mentions how I have experienced divorce, personal bankruptcy, family challenges and I care for one parent at home and the other in a nursing home.

She does not realize that I take medications for anxiety and depression and have never stopped taking them nor have I stopped visiting my doctors'.

I enjoy a good reputation with my family and my community in addition to volunteer work at my church and am blessed that I have a few very supportive people in my life.

I have been hurt by a few people and this includes the so called psychics that I have visited-clearly a mistake and hidden lesson.

Fortunately, I have slowly realized my challenges and potential with the help of my supportive friends, family, health care professionals, my spirit guides and God.

As for this psychic- she is a fraud.

The person who brought up the above question- What is a psychic?

A great question! The answer is simply to figure it out on your own.

With honesty and integrity- I share my experiences and story.

If you read the above comments- I'm sure you will get the picture!

This psychic is a fraud!

I made the mistake of visiting her from the start. My depression is a result of my recent disappointments and unfortunate life challenges. I was duped with readings that involved my grandmothers' presence and guidance at each session. I never realized any help or direction in my life-clearly a hocus pocus scene. A bag of magic tricks!

My issue is that Catharine is dishonest and an opportunist to say the least. The other psychic she talks about was a bigger fraud and stole $2,000.00 from me during a 8 month period-She took advantage of my life crisis. As I realized this I became angry and demanded my money back. My mistake was not taking her to court. She had me arrested for threats and harassment as I tried to get my money back with my anger. At the second court date the crown and justice withdrew the charges and wished me well. They suggested that I stay away from psychics and put forth an effort to seek help from professionals.

I feel sad for her as I slowly get my life back together and realize my potential. She forgot to mention that she is on depression medication and needs professional advice. I'm a victim and refuse to give in to this scam that most people overlook or do not realize until they have been had.

It would be a pleasure to testify in any court that psychics are nothing but a fraud.

Whatever goes around comes around,

If a psychic 'isn't always right', it is because the human race possesses the ability to choose, And that is the point of this on-going discussion, which it appears the original poster has chosen to check out of...We CHOOSE what is BEST for us. We ultimately must listen to our own guidance and inner truth. We know better than anyone what is in our greatest good. Now I do consult a psychic on occasion, so I do believe in that route also as a form of 'occasional' spiritual guidance. Ultimately he always says, it is my choice to make. They are a spiritual compass. They aren't someone to consult, when you're looking for someone to give you the answer you what to hear, for what you want to do. Conflict results because one fights their own inner guidance. Stay strong & centered, meditate and listen for your answer.

I found this as one of the most interesting and pertinent designs for both the reader and the client.

Spiritalk

Above is simply a disgruntled former client of mine who sent out a suicidal email to me on a Friday evening and did not expect me to report it to the police.

The end result of his own mentally disturbed behaviour was that I did contact the police and they located this person and he is annoyed because his erratic emotional behaviour is no longer a secret to his family who obviously were very upset to have the police arrive at their door at midnight.

Turns out this individual did check himself into the hospital and so he must have known his emotional state was way off.

As for his estimation of my readings being fraudulent I must say that he was for the most part contented with my work for over 2 years and only became unsatisfied when his ex-girlfriend moved on and did not want him in her life.

He was advised to move on but would not hear of it.

So it is more that he is not happy because I was not willing to just tell him what he wished to hear.

The man is clinically depressed and admitted to me in sessions that he was changing doctors and intending to go off his medications even though this was counter to doctor's advice.

This client's issues with psychics is a repetitive cycle and I am not the first psychic he has tried to damage and threaten. Again it comes down to him not being enabled in his co-dependent relationships with the women in his life.

Lesson learned for me is that I should have refused to read for him as soon as I realized that he was not following his doctor's advice.
