I can see people's auras, but I'm not sure what they do. I see them as colors around their head, ranging in shade, intensity, and size. I've always been able to see them, and they seem to change in brightness/intensity depending on the situation. For instance, when I was in an accident years ago, the people I saw helping me had more intense, bluer auras. But I have no idea if that means they were blue, or if the intensity of their aura increased, or if auras get more intense when someone is helping someone else, or what. I've never figured out how to distinguish between these possibilities. <br><br>I've also never told anyone about this. I was too young to understand what was happening when I first started seeing them, and after everything that happened as a kid, I learned to keep it hidden. It's not like anyone would have believed me anyway, and I didn't want to end up back in the psych ward. <br><br>I went to therapy for years when I was younger. I'm a 25 year old woman now, but when I was 9, my father died and I was really affected by it. I had to see a therapist for a few years. I stopped seeing auras then for some reason, and I didn't start seeing them again until my husband died five years ago. I'm not sure why that happened, or why they came back after my husband died. Both my father and husband were very kind, gentle people. My father was always a happy guy, especially when he was with us. My husband was also kind of a homebody, and loved taking care of our baby and making me feel safe. <br><br>My baby girl, Naomi, is five years old now, and has been seeing auras for about a year. She's very sensitive to them, and reacts every time she sees them. I'm not sure why she's so sensitive when I'm not, but it's becoming a problem. She talks about them constantly. She talks about them to her friends, teachers, family members, strangers... she mentions them all the time. I've tried teaching her not to, but she can't help it. She's very outspoken for a little girl.<br><br>I saw a therapist briefly after my husband died. It didn't help at all. They just kept encouraging me to talk about my grief and my feelings. I didn't want to talk about it. I just wanted to understand the auras. And if I brought up the auras, they acted like I was delusional or something. So I stopped going to therapy after a few meetings. But I'm thinking about going back now for Naomi's sake. I don't know what else to do, or how to help her.
