In the season four episode 157 of The Dr. Oz Show, viewers are taken inside the mind of a psychic with Long Island medium, Theresa Caputo. Dr. Oz explores the topic of psychics and how they are able to communicate with the dead.
Theresa Caputo, known as the Long Island medium, is a psychic medium who claims to be able to communicate with those who have passed on. In this episode, viewers get a glimpse into what goes on inside her brain and how she is able to connect with the deceased.
Dr. Oz starts the episode by explaining that there is still a lot of skepticism about psychics and their abilities. He acknowledges that while some may believe in psychics, others are steadfast in their disbelief. Dr. Oz aims to explore this topic from a scientific standpoint and understand how psychics are able to do what they do.
Theresa Caputo joins Dr. Oz on stage and starts by explaining what it’s like to receive messages from the dead. She describes it as feeling like a “big, giant bubble” is in her head and she is getting information from all directions. She explains that she sees, hears, and feels things that the deceased are trying to communicate to her.
Dr. Oz asks how Theresa is able to decipher the messages she receives and make sense of them. She explains that she has to trust her own intuition and uses her own life experiences to relate to the messages she receives. Dr. Oz also asks Theresa about skeptics who believe that what she does is not real. Theresa responds by saying that she is not out to convince anyone of anything and that she respects everyone's beliefs.
Next, Dr. Oz introduces neurosurgeon Dr. Eben Alexander to further explore the topic of psychic abilities. Dr. Alexander explains that our brain acts as a filter, preventing us from seeing or experiencing things that are not part of our everyday reality. He believes that psychics are able to tap into a different realm of consciousness, allowing them to bypass this filter and receive messages from the dead.
Dr. Oz and Dr. Alexander discuss the concept of quantum physics and how it may play a role in psychic abilities. They explain that quantum physics suggests there may be multiple dimensions and realities beyond our own. Dr. Alexander believes that psychics may be able to tap into these other dimensions, allowing them to communicate with the deceased.
The episode also features interviews with people who have received readings from Theresa Caputo. They describe how Theresa was able to communicate with their loved ones and provide them with closure and comfort.
Throughout the episode, Dr. Oz and Theresa Caputo emphasize that everyone's experiences and beliefs are unique. They encourage viewers to keep an open mind and consider the possibility that there may be realms beyond our own that we are unable to fully understand.
