When I tell my professors that I operate my own small business in addition to attending school full-time, it inevitably happens that they ask me what my business is. When I first returned to school, I felt very awkward and uncomfortable in disclosing what it is I actually do. After all, I am working toward becoming a Psychologist, and these people have already earned their PhD's in Psychology, Sociology, Biology, Mathematics, and a myriad of other fields.
Although the majority of my clients tend to be professionals, doctors, lawyers, politicians, and highly educated in their own right, I still feel the old "hooga booga" vibe from time to time before I spout my twelve year history of being a New Age Life Coach who uses tarot and astrology, in addition to mainstream coaching methods. Generally, I first inform them that I have a twenty year history of manufacturing experience primarily in the printing industry at a managerial level, and THEN go on to describe how I wrote a book on Tarot, and launched my newest career. This kind of smooths things over in preparing them to hear what my current unusual and unorthodox career is.
I am not embarrassed in the least by what I do, quite the contrary, however, I do not appreciate my career being potentially scoffed at as their are still a lot of skeptics out there.
So, I begin by disclosing that I am a Life Coach, and over time, I continue to disclose my tools. What makes me different from the average service provider in my field, is that in addition to my intuitive interpretations of the cards, I also provide a "coaching" service, if a client is willing to take the extra step and take full advantage of my talents.
My Life Coaching is inclusive of taking a psycho dynamic, behavioral, and cognitive psychological approach to guiding you to achieve your goals. This is blending science with the metaphysical, and is very effective.
As I've been working here for over a dozen years I find that there are two types of clients. The average client, who is looking for a purely "psychic" prediction and assumes they have no control over the outcome of their situation, and the intelligent client, those who are high in critical thinking skills and realize that an intuitive interpretation of the tarot is not sufficient, they want to contribute and actively participate in achieving their desired outcomes, or learn how to better cope if the outcome they desire is not likely to manifest. This is probably why the bulk of my repeat clients are professionals, they are educated, and possess critical thinking skills beyond those who are relying on purely "psychic" interpretations.
It is no coincidence that "psychology" and "psychic" begin with the same syllable, "psy" means "of the mind". If you truly want a rewarding experience "of the mind" then I am likely the person you wish to speak to. Psychology by definition is the study of the human mind and it's functions, most especially those relating to human behavior. "Psychic" is defined as of, relating to, affecting, or influenced by the human mind or psyche, who better to accurately predict human behavior than an advisor well versed in both. With this knowledge and skill set, I am also able to coach you as to how to bring about the reactions you desire in any persons involved in your situation, or, if they are not subject to be influenced by your actions, coach you as to how to cope with accepting your situation as it is, or letting it go and moving forward.
So, as my professors have come to know me for who I am and what I do, they see the value of the service I provide, respect my approach, and encourage me to join their ranks at the prestigious academic level of "PhD".
Brigid Bishop, as I said, is NOT your average "Card Flipper". Give me a call for a discriminating and critical analysis of your situation and start making your relationships work for you, achieving your career goals, and living your life to the fullest!
