A psychic or medium is a person who believes or claims that he or she has an ability to communicate with the souls or spirits of those who have died. There have been many television shows over the past two decades featuring psychics, from Sonya Fitzpatrick’s Pet Psychic and John Edward’s Crossing Over and Cross Country to Theresa Caputo’s Long Island Medium. Whether or not you believe in telepathy or psychic powers, there is no question that the most successful psychics are very good listeners. With your classmates in a group, use YouTube or Vimeo to find a video of a psychic doing a reading with someone. After viewing, describe how the psychic demonstrates each step of active listening: (1) receiving and attending; (2) understanding; (3) responding, paraphrasing, and clarifying; and (4) recalling and remembering.
