Sherrie does an excellent job describing the different ways that a psychic processes information. I have taken the test she provides in the book, Discover Your Psychic Type and found I am a mental and physical psychic. What I found funny was I took the test again this year, after first taking the test several years ago and had almost the same exact result. In this book, she provides exercises and ways to build up your intuition depending on your psychic type. If you are interested in improving your intuitive self, I highly recommend this book.
I have always heard everyone is psychic in some way. I have always seen things, or known things, or felt things about places, objects, and definitely people. I just never knew exactly how to put this thought, feelings, or visions to work or in a useful manor. I have told strangers about themselves, basically read them without even touching them in the past. I've gotten some pretty shocked looks by doing this. I have felt stuff by picking up an object. So I know I do have abilities, and I have them my whole life. So I have been reading books lately to rain in these abilities and to make sense of the visions, thought, and feelings.
This book is written with the beginner in mind, but does not make you feel like a beginner or an idiot.. It is written in straight forward easy to understand language. It does not give you outlandish ideas or make crazy promises to you if you read the book. It does give you tools and exercises to explore your own abilities. A lot of the things in this books I have read in other books already, but that just makes me feel like I am getting more of the right information is others are saying the same things.
This is also one of those book you read it once and keep it around for a reference in the future. Instead of discarding it.
I received this book from the Author or Publisher via Netgalley.com and chose to leave this review.
This was such a wonderful book and is very useful and helpfully especially for someone that is early in their spiritual journey
Voice was a little dry for me, but I really liked the lessons imbued in the book. I appreciated reading about and identifying the type of psychic gifts I have and learning the meditations and skills to build on them.
useful, practical, insightful
Katz offers a down-to-earth discussion of what it means to be psychic, normalizing it in important ways. Katz also offers useful techniques. Very helpful!

I love this book! I'm pretty much a newbie when it comes to psychic stuff and honing your skills and all that jazz. This really helped me an dI loved how easily it worked. The exercises are simple but effective and that's something I loved. It made me feel like I could do this even though I knew hardly anything. This is wonderful for beginners, you'll get something out of it for sure! The writing is easy to follow and the author really seems to know their stuff so if this subject interests you: get this book! You won't regret it!

Fascinating and page turning. I seldom read non-fiction but the subject matter interested me.~ I enjoyed reading it and since it comes out next week, have already recommended it to friends I know will love it!
I came to this book with a pretty good understanding of psychic/intuitive abilities, how they work, how to develop them, and more. I was curious how well this book would go about explaining this ability and if it would discuss how to develop them in a clear and concise way. I was not disappointed. The book was well written and informative, and the steps that are suggested are easy enough that a beginner could easily follow. In the book, she describes the different variations of psychic abilities, how they typically manifest, and examples of each. She is very thorough in her exercises - mostly set up as meditations - complete with step-by-step instructions and questions to help you. She also states, on more than one occasion, that this requires work, as with anything, however with practice you *can* strengthen your intuition. In the final pages, she describes things that can be done to help improve your intuition as well as your surroundings that might be inhibiting the energy that is received by your psychic side.
Overall, and enjoyable and enlightening, written in a way to be a teaching aid without coming off as preachy or overly formal. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in how intuition works, and might also be inspired enough to strengthen this ability that everyone has.
I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I wish to thank both the author and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this educational, instructive book.
This book was interesting, an enjoyble read. I found out some fascinating things, and various feelings I have had where explained. I will definitely be looking more into this subject as well as paying more attention to various feelings and thoughts that come out of the blue. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the ARC of this book in return for my honest review.
This book explained a lot of terminology and has a lot of exercises, and the personal examples were interesting. I understand much more now, since I knew very little about this area before I read this book.
This is a great guide and a real eye opener. Any body interested in further developing or strengthening their psychic ability will surely benefit from this book.
I received a copy of this book to read for free in exchange for honest feedback.
I thought this was an amazing read. I have been cultivating and working with my skills for a few years now, following podcasts like The Psychic Teachers, and reading many books, as well as meditating, etc. This book was where I wish I had started after being opened to the idea of everyone having these capabilities and wanting to personally hone them and learn to use them well. The exercises are practical, the advice is wise and grounded, and the author's tone is encouraging and natural. Seriously, she reassures you that psychic abilities are natural and a gift in a way that I had not encountered in other literature. Very thankful to have read this one and I will recommend it.
I found You Are Psych a rather helpful book. The author does a wonderful job of balancing theory with execution. By reading the book, not only will you learn about the different kinds of gifts that humans have, you also learn exercises to help with each particular gift. The book also includes a variety of generation medication exercises for daily life and that can be utilized by anyone.
As someone who has looked into meditation for my spiritual journey (i love how the author didn't knock any religion), I look forward to trying out some of the techniques.
I loved this book. It was easy to understand, not too theoretical, and helpful to those of us seeking to understand our psychic sides. Several times I found myself thinking 'Oh THAT is why that happens to me!'. As someone with some psychic abilities, but not a huge understanding of what to do with it (if anything), I found this book really helpful.
This book is a bit of a struggle for me.
On one hand, I loved the info it contained and was immensely grateful that the author chose to share what she knows with her readers. On the other hand, the book had a dry, textbook feel to it. And while that is certainly fine, I personally was needing a bit of a different voice in this book.
It definitely contains a wealth of knowledge, however, and I do not hesitate to recommend YOU ARE PSYCHIC.
I requested this book on a whim, as it is not normally the type of book I'd read. My family has always felt that I am highly intuitive, or even a "sensitive", so I guess this title appealed to me for that reason. However, I think I would have enjoyed it even if I were going into it not thinking I had an ounce of "psychic ability". The book is full of insights and examples, which I found to be both interesting and explanatory. I don't honestly think this is the book for EVERY reader- some will discount it was "too new age-y" or "hocus pocus", and that's okay. I didn't find it to be either; rather, I found it to be full of ways to sharpen the natural abilities that are within us all. Taking the "psychic" aspect out of it (which is, obviously, pretty difficult to do) the book is well written, not preachy, easy to follow.... definitely something I would recommend to anyone who I believe to be open-minded and interested in developing their own intuitions.
