Intuitive Therapist Speaks to Psychology Students
Zarrella spoke about extrasensory perception (ESP), Reiki, intuition, and near-death experiences–and her belief in all of them. She shared her views about why paranormal beliefs and feelings often elicit skepticism and/or criticism, and why we need to normalize these beliefs and feelings in order to fully understand and truly test paranormal activity. Zarrella holds a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Columbia University, and a bachelor's degree in Holistic Psychology from Lesley University. Students were thoroughly intrigued.
