Over a Third of People Feel More Comfortable Speaking to a Psychic than Anyone Else in their Life

Sometimes we find it hard to share our secrets with family, friends, and even partners. In this case, some find an alternative method of getting answers to their problems – by seeking spiritual advice. In fact, the Pew Research Center conducted a study in which 41% of people believe in the advice of psychics.

 

With that in mind, we decided to have a look at how many people would rather go to a qualified psychic for advice, than a specialised professional or an acquaintance. To find out, we surveyed 2,402 people to list instances where they would rather seek advice from a psychic.

 

The survey revealed that people feel more comfortable with a psychic than:

1. Sex Therapists – 37%

2. Partners – 35%

3. Marriage Counsellors – 31%

4. Therapists – 29%

5. Police Officers – 29%

 

Relationship problems are better resolved with the help of a psychic – survey reveals

 

Interestingly, in the top 5 we can see that some people would rather speak to a qualified psychic than sex therapists, partners or marriage counsellors. The survey reveals that more than a third of people would rather trust the advice of a psychic over their own partner (35%). Marriage counsellors take the third spot (31%), highlighting just how many people would rather call upon spiritual advice to save their love lives.

When asked What were the most common sex/relationship problems a psychic helped you overcome, most respondents (72%) said it was to find out if their partners were cheating on them. A whopping 68% of people also said they go to a psychic for advice when their sex life is becoming dull.

Simultaneously, 21% of people revealed they would talk to a psychic rather than a friend. When asked about the reasons why, most respondents said it was because they felt less judged (61%), while others said it’s because they feel it’s more confidential (52%).

 

People would rather see a psychic than a lawyer or a police officer

 

Police officers are less approachable than psychics, according to 26% of people, who would rather see a professional psychic to solve legal issues. Similarly, 7% of those taking part in the survey said they would prefer to take advice from psychics, over lawyers. In fact, 41% of those surveyed said that they would take legal advice from a psychic.

What’s more, 13% of people said they would rather see a psychic than a doctor to seek advice regarding their medical problems.
