My co-author Nicole (who is an Empath), wrote this article, so here’s her response to your incredible experience, and remember, no matter how isolated you may feel, you are not alone in your experience.

“Hi Jessica,

It’s always sad to hear that someone was so distraught, and felt so hopeless that taking their own life seemed their only respite. What is sadder for me is the knowledge that their tragic feelings follow them when they Cross Over so they haven’t escaped their emotional despair at all. Our feelings in some ways are more real then our physical bodies in that this is the one aspect of ourselves that we do… take with us.

Your gift is non refundable.

That is to say you can’t – not be who or what you are. You can however learn to Ground yourself everyday, or whenever you feel the need to separate yourself from someone else’s intense state. As to whether or not you embrace your experiences completely depends on how you choose to frame it. I see ‘Perception’ as just another aspect of my being that is neither good nor bad. It just is. Ultimately if you avoid what makes you afraid your world will start shrinking bit by bit, so I suggest NLP if you are fearful of going back to the overpass. Associations are something that we make and so we can also unmake for ourselves.

I’ve always found that embracing what is and studying it- trumped dreading it – so I encourage you to read up on Clairsentience and being empathic since these seem to be your gifts. Consider this knowledge to be part of the ‘Tool Box’ of your life that will help you navigate future experiences when it happens (not if).

Remember to ground yourself, …and breath.

Namaste, Nicole”

I just wanted to say thank you for your explanation of a psychic imprint. I was struggling to explain an experience I had earlier this week and when I found your article I was like “that is exactly what happened”.

I was driving on the freeway and I came upon an accident just before the paramedics arrived. A woman had jumped from the overpass on to the freeway. I knew immediately she was dead but I had no idea she had taken her own life. I assumed she was in a car accident. I continued on just realizing there was nothing that I could do for her except move out of the way and allow the fire and ambulance vehicles through that I could hear coming up behind me. Then right when I went under the overpass I started sobbing, shaking and was overwhelmed with a sense of deep deep confusion, regret, pain and suffering.

I described it to my husband as if I were strike by a ball of fire, a physical force that carried the emotions in to my body. Only later did I learn it had been a suicide. I also received a message of sorts but I don’t know exactly what to do with it.

People will think I am crazy if I try to explain what happened.

I just wondered if you had any insight on to move past this experience. I have been extremely distraught and I am literally afraid to drive back to the overpass or the under the freeway and it happened on the exit to my house so this is a problem!!

My whole life I have had “good intuition” have gotten what I always call “bad vibes” etc. People have always marveled at how “intuitive” I can be as to their emotional states, changes in their lives present or upcoming. I have never really put a name on it or talked to anyone about it, just accepted it as part of who I am.

I guess I am just struggling with do you embrace this and consider it a gift or hope to hell it never happens to you again?

Thank you…
