OUT OF THE DEEP FREE ZE
One of the mo st valuable to o ls a wor ki ng mentalist c a n ha ve is the ability t o do a g ood co ld or p s yc hol o g ic a l reading. It is nece ssary to dist in guish carefully betwee n these two fi el ds al th o ug h whe n you're actually doing a reading t he t wo tend
to
overlap. T he col d read i ng as it has been def ined is

But t he subject is left wi th t he imp re ssion t h at y o u are tr ul y a
