Psychic Therapist? - Guest Morrigan Salatrik - Pt. 1 - Episode 300
Episode 300!!!
The milestone 300th episode of the Motor City Hypnotist Podcast introduces listeners to the fascinating world where conventional therapy meets spiritual healing. Our special guest, Morrigan Salatrik , brings an extraordinary breadth of credentials to the conversation—she's not only a licensed professional counselor and registered art therapist but also a Reiki master, pranic healer, psychic medium, and certified composite artist for law enforcement.
Morrigan demystifies energy healing modalities, explaining how Reiki and pranic healing work with the body's energy centers (chakras) to facilitate healing on multiple levels. She articulates the subtle yet important distinction between psychic abilities and mediumship, noting that while everyone possesses intuition to some degree, many people dismiss these perceptions as mere coincidence rather than acknowledging them as valid insights.
What makes Morrigan's approach particularly powerful is how she integrates these diverse modalities into her therapeutic practice. For clients who feel "stuck" despite years of traditional therapy, her ability to perceive energetic shifts allows her to gently but firmly challenge defense mechanisms and self-deception. She emphasizes that healing fundamentally involves "shifting your perception" rather than simply eliminating symptoms—a process that requires loving integration of fragmented aspects of self created through trauma and absorbed beliefs.
The conversation reminds us that healing is a continuous journey without a final destination. Whether you're curious about energy healing, struggling with personal growth plateaus, or simply interested in expanding your understanding of complementary therapeutic approaches, this episode offers valuable insights into how traditional and spiritual modalities can work together to facilitate deeper healing.
Join us for this illuminating discussion that bridges science and spirituality, psychology and energy work, to explore the multidimensional nature of human healing.

Announcer: 4:50
That's how winning is done.
David Wright: 4:52
So, morgan, this is our first time together, so we always kind of do a story like right up front, just like a nice human story. Okay, because you know this world's full of craziness, especially right now, so it's just nice to have good stories that kind of are uplifting and encouraging. So here was a great thing. This comes from North Carolina. In surveillance video from a North Carolina school, a nine-year-old boy stepped in to save his friend from choking using the Heinleck maneuver. The boy said he learned this classic life-saving technique for clearing the airways by watching YouTube, showing that maybe a little screen time isn't all that bad.
David Wright: 5:34
Wral News first reported the story at Raleigh Oak Charter School, young Jason Branch nonchalantly saved the life of his seven-year-old friend, darren. We were playing basketball and he ate a granola bar and we started playing longer until he started choking. Branch told WRAL News I didn't know he was actually actually choking, so I just did my thing, which was a Heimlich. The surveillance footage indeed shows them playing basketball with two other kids when the shorter of the two suddenly stopped and bent over. Wasting no time at all, branch, who can be seen in the white shirt, gave two compressions on darren's abdomen, which which dislodged the food.
David Wright: 6:19
The remarkable part is how quickly everything went back to normal. I've had a call. I've had to be called to the school before him before for him. Jason's father said with a wry smile but I was hoping this time it was like oh God, don't let this be a bad thing again. But he said because he missed the call, he got to listen to the voicemail telling him the good news His part-time troublemaker had become a part-time hero. Wral was able to show the footage to the parents of both boys, who watched in amazement at the quick response of the older one to save his friend, the foundation of a friendship that will surely last a lifetime. So again, great story A nine-year-old doing a Heimlich.
David Wright: 7:04
I know, I've had to do that once in my life. I worked at a summer camp in my high school college years and one time somebody was right in the it was called a snack shop or whatever. But I came out of that and it was at nighttime, I distinctly remember it, and there was a girl on her knees on the ground and three friends were around her saying what's wrong, what's wrong? She, she, she was choking on something, yeah. So I got her up, did the Heimlich. It came flying out. It was like a movie. I mean, I never had an experience like that before. But yeah, as soon as that thing shot out, she was like she started gasping for breath and that was it was crazy.
David Wright: 7:45
Yeah, I think that's something that everybody should learn, doesn't matter, oh absolutely yeah, because and it's not, I don't know I maybe it's just because I'm old I feel like it's, it's you don't hear about it Like I think, when we were well, I'm older than you, but not a lot probably, but but when we were kids this was like a big thing. We heard a lot about this. I just don't know if it's taught anymore. I'm sure it is for first aid classes and things like that, but for this in this case, hey, youtube helps someone for a change.
Announcer: 8:10
You can find so much on YouTube For social media right yeah absolutely, I do too.
David Wright: 8:14
So great story. A shout out to. I want to make sure I get the names right again. Let me find it real quick. Jason Branch was the one who gave the Heimlich and the victim was Darren. So big shout out to Jason Branch, who again jumped in, did what he knew he had to do and probably didn't even think about it. So for a nine-year-old, super impressive, definitely winner of the week material.
Announcer: 8:51
That's how winning is done.
David Wright: 8:53
It's always nice to hear good stories. So back to it. So we're here, folks, on episode 300. And with that we have with us a special guest. Morgan is actually a therapist in our office. She works with us. So I'm going to list, morgan, your credentials. First of all, to start with, you're a psychic medium. You're a Reiki master and a Reiki teacher and a pranic healer. Does that cover all the areas?
Morrigan Salatrik: 9:23
as far as titles go, Well, I also have a double master's in clinical mental health counseling and art therapy, so I'm registered nationally as an art therapist Registered or licensed in the state of Michigan as an LPC.
David Wright: 9:40
Right.
Morrigan Salatrik: 9:40
And also in South Carolina and North Carolina.
David Wright: 9:42
Yeah, I did see that. I didn't realize you had licenses in the Carolinas. Yeah, that's awesome.
Morrigan Salatrik: 9:46
So as long as I'm here in Michigan, I can practice with those in South Carolina Seeing clients there?
David Wright: 9:50
Yeah, and then when?
Morrigan Salatrik: 9:50
they had all the you know, the hurricane and everything else in North Carolina. I was able to do that as well, fantastic yeah. And then let's see what else. There's a lot.
David Wright: 9:59
Certified composite artist yes, cca. So tell me, what is that? This like like when you watch TV shows and they do the sketch artists.
Morrigan Salatrik: 10:11
Yeah, tv shows, and they do. The sketch artists yeah, that's what you do, yes, so I am in the middle of going for um what is actually called um composite. Well, it's a certified composite art artist that's what I have my cca and it's for law enforcement, so I have um, oh my gosh. I've been doing this for a few years now, but I'm working towards a full certification and forensic art.
David Wright: 10:28
Oh nice.
Morrigan Salatrik: 10:29
So doing the facial reconstructions, the unknown remains as well.
David Wright: 10:33
Oh, okay, so people who have been killed in accidents or identifying bodies? Yes, identifying bodies, I'm working on that certification as well, okay.
Morrigan Salatrik: 10:40
And that actually encompasses the composite artist for law enforcement.
David Wright: 10:46
Okay, so let's say, composite artist for law enforcement is at probably the basic level, and this one goes further.
Morrigan Salatrik: 10:54
Well, you have two options if you want to do one or the other, but you would have both. Yes, I will have both especially being an art therapist, I love doing art. I always have, since I was a kid and the law enforcement portion of it. I could take that anywhere. Right now I travel across the US doing composite art sketches working on missing persons, homicide cases, cold cases.
David Wright: 11:15
So I know people are going to have a lot of questions regarding all of these areas, which is why we're going to have you for two episodes, because this is going to take a while. But so, as a child, were you artistic as a child? Did you draw pictures?
Morrigan Salatrik: 11:28
as a kid, I did so as a kid, I would sit there and I would look at a picture and draw it exactly.
David Wright: 11:34
Oh, okay.
Morrigan Salatrik: 11:35
And you know I did that, but I didn't take art in high school I actually wanted to be a doctor, a pediatrician, so I took a lot of bio, bio classes and psychology and it's amazing how, when you start off as a kid, it's like what do you want to be when you grow up?
David Wright: 11:50
Right.
Morrigan Salatrik: 11:51
And back as a kid, I had three things I wanted to be. I wanted to be an artist, a singer or a doctor. Okay, and yeah, I do sing.
David Wright: 12:00
And you do art. Yes, and I do my art.
Morrigan Salatrik: 12:03
I could technically go for a PhD if I wanted to, but no. Well yeah, but no Right. Well, yeah, but no, right now I am still go. I did go back to school for criminal justice. I'm working on a master's in science and criminal justice, kind of like pull everything together Just four classes away from that. So that's, that's amazing.
David Wright: 12:19
No, absolutely so. So we're going to get into some specific questions. Oh, kendra popped in, hi Morgan, so hey, kendra. Oh, and Kendra wanted me to give a shout out to Mama Bear. Mama Bear, wherever you're at, what the fuck are you doing? Yeah, that's for Mama Bear. She likes that. So I'm going to start like I'm just I'm going to pretend I'm a client, coming in and just asking questions, because I know these are questions some people might ask, even if they don't ask it online or if they're not with us at the moment. So let's start with define for me pranic healer. What pranic? What exactly does that word mean?
Morrigan Salatrik: 13:03
Okay, so we have so many words in the English language that mean the same thing, right? Yes, so prana is actually life force, energy. Okay, so your soul? Um if you look at the chinese, you have chi, okay, reiki. Now you're talking the key god, um. So it's pretty much the same word, or different words for the same thing. Yes, so pranic healing is a little bit different than Reiki. I don't know if you want me to start with any of the energy healing.
David Wright: 13:35
I mean, I'm sure we'll make the distinction as we go along, absolutely. But yeah, however you want to go through it, sure.
Morrigan Salatrik: 13:40
Yeah, so I guess, if we start with energy healing, I'm a Reiki master, reiki teacher and. Pranic Healing. So Pranic Healing actually has different levels. They are both healing modalities scientifically proven. There are journal articles out there and I think Dr Oz, when he went into surgery one time he actually had a Reiki. Someone was performing.
Announcer: 13:59
Reiki in one of his for his surgery.
Morrigan Salatrik: 14:01
I don't know if it was a full episode or whatnot, whatever, it was, but he did mention.
David Wright: 14:06
Reiki healing.
Morrigan Salatrik: 14:07
And Reiki healing is taking your kind of like balancing out your chakras right. So if you balance out your your chakras, you have seven major chakras. That's kind of like a prime meridian uh, anywhere you can, anywhere you could put an acupuncture needle, is actually energy. Okay, like an energy center or extra chakras. But with Reiki and Pranic Healing, pranic Healing uses different, they're different modalities. So Pranic Healing uses different, hand gestures different. If you think of med school, right, they go through different things. If this doesn't work, I'm going to use this.
David Wright: 14:43
So that's kind of like how Pranic Healing is Like different modalities in a way.
Morrigan Salatrik: 14:46
Yes, and Reiki. A lot of Reiki practitioners would put their hands over chakras and actually touch their client. Usually I don't do that because I have such strong energy that comes through healing energy that I don't usually touch, you know, hands on with my clients unless I'm called to do it, but it can be done in person.
David Wright: 15:07
It can also be done virtually or across the country, and that's a good thing to bring up, because I would think, knowing what you do, that you'd have to be in person. I mean, that's kind of the assumption of most people.
Morrigan Salatrik: 15:20
Yeah, you would think that, but you don't have to and what you're doing is you're actually connecting with the intent to bring in healing energy.
David Wright: 15:27
Okay, yeah, to bring in healing energy, okay, and again I'm going to pretend I'm just totally ignorant, which, for the most part, I am so pranic healing and Reiki healing they're kind of under the same umbrella, they're just different approaches. Yes, got it Okay. And then psychic medium that ties into these two things. Yes, it can't yes, yeah, I mean, I would think so, yeah, right yeah so.
David Wright: 16:00
So that is, and again, explain that just to the lay person out there who might, who might, hear that term and think fake. You know what I mean? I mean because, because some people would say that it is, but some and and here's the thing um, I, when I, when I was talking, to just like, uh, acquaintances about having you on, of course, a couple of them are like, oh, I don't believe that. I'm like, well, that's fine, but there's so many people who do and so many people who want spiritual healing. They don't need physical healing. Well, I mean, they may need physical healing, but the spiritual part that is really damaged.
Morrigan Salatrik: 16:38
When you think of intuition and psychicness, psychic. If I were to define psychic medium, all mediums are psychic, but not all psychics are mediums. Being psychic is connecting to the human aspect being a medium, and I'm just summing this up. There's more to it. So I'm just going to sum it up in layman terms but, being a medium, you are connecting to the physical world or the spiritual world as well.
Morrigan Salatrik: 17:05
Now we all kind of have our own psychic gifts, our own intuition. Oh, I knew that was going to happen before it happened right, but a lot of people will brush it off and say, oh well, that was just coincidence.
David Wright: 17:16
Yeah, that was one of the words I was going to bring up.
Morrigan Salatrik: 17:17
Or cops and detectives, right, they were just. Oh, that was my gut instinct, you know.
David Wright: 17:21
I just knew, right, yes.
Morrigan Salatrik: 17:23
Yes, but when you think of your intuition, it actually does. You feel it in your gut Mm-hmm. Unless you go and you know you're now yourself sabotaging. I didn't believe you know. That was just a coincidence.
David Wright: 17:45
Now you're up in your head or more ego-based, more human aspect, right? So we're going to get much more into this. So, as far as if somebody came to you and, let's say, just a brand new client and they said, I don't know anything about any of this, I just know that there's something wrong, I'm not in the right space, I don't feel good, I'm depressed, I'm anxious, whatever it is, how do you, how do you start with a client? How do you kind of bring them into it?
Morrigan Salatrik: 18:09
Well, it depends on what the client's looking for. I automatically will start off my sessions, my initial session, and say, okay, yes, I'm a licensed professional counselor, licensed in the state of Michigan, and I, you know I get this feel okay, yes, I'm registered nationally for art therapy. And then I also say, yeah, I'm also Reiki master, reiki teacher. If you don't know what that is, I'll let you know. They're just different energy healing modalities and you know I am a psychic medium. I put that out there because I do have reviews. I'm on Google reviews.
Morrigan Salatrik: 18:37
I have reviews for my personal pages on.
Morrigan Salatrik: 18:41
Facebook and YouTube and everything else. So it's out there with what I do. So anybody that Googles my name, they're going to see that. So I'm upfront and I give that to my clients and I said that's not something that we have to bring in if that's not what you're looking for, right? And I also tell my clients you have all the answers that you need. I'm just here being that mirror to bounce this off of you, and a lot of my clients are on a spiritual journey, so they will say well hey, you know, can I work on this?
Morrigan Salatrik: 19:13
Can I do that? And I say, well that, working on this, yes, but it also means diving deeper into your own healing looking at your shadow aspects or the inner child, work and knowing you know how do you feel when you're alone or sitting like COVID when COVID shut down so many people didn't know what to do with themselves. Right, and when you tap into yourself and what do I feel like when I'm just sitting doing nothing, that's when you're touching base with more of who you really are, not just the human.
David Wright: 19:45
Not who. You have to be based on your environment.
Morrigan Salatrik: 19:48
Right, right. And so you know, I just bring that into my sessions and just find out what their goals are. And if they're open to spiritual counseling as well intuition development, we will pull that into the session as well.
David Wright: 20:04
Nice. So if somebody is not specifically looking or maybe doesn't even understand what pranic healing is or what Reiki is, they could benefit, even though they don't know, they could benefit.
Morrigan Salatrik: 20:18
Right, right, and a lot of clients that I do get a lot of clients that come into the office, or even virtually, and they walk in there. They could be really, really anxious. And then they come in, they sit down and then they're like, oh my gosh, they just I don't know what just happened.
David Wright: 20:35
I feel so nice in this room and that's because it's infused with healing energy. Yeah, the space, right, yeah, right, right, absolutely. And, by the way, we do need to get you another couch cushion. Yes, she's got this tear in one of her couch cushions, a couch we just bought within the last year or two. So I'm like still kind of angry about that, I know, uh, because, because that throws me off, only because it's my own personal thing, because you know, we've got this nice furniture now I had a client looking for a needle.
David Wright: 21:12
I'm going to get there at some point I will get there. So tell me a little bit Again. If a client comes in and they're really for lack of a better term stuck and we know what stuck clients are like they tried everything, they've been in therapy for 10 years but they don't seem to change, they don't seem to move. Can you give them an additional avenue to try to pursue or some different way to get to where they want to go?
Morrigan Salatrik: 21:44
I do Sometimes with the feelings that I get being a psychic medium. Being a medium and being psychic, we think of our five senses, right. So, that also pulls into being a medium. How do I hear spirit? How do I connect to the person in front of meive? You know, I feel what they feel Right and when my clients are talking to me, I get these images in my head or I feel it in the body, and I'll know when they're lying and I call them out on it, right.
Morrigan Salatrik: 22:31
So when they're stuck and I'm like I usually when my beginning intro comes, you know with that first session, the intake, I'll tell my clients and I can feel, I feel everything. So I'll know when you're lying to me and you know I'll call you up. Can I, can I? You know I'll call you out on your bullshit.
David Wright: 22:46
Right, I don't know if I can swear on this or not, but we can say whatever the fuck we want, we're good, okay, okay you know, I'll call it, you know I, we're all good, okay, perfect. Until it happens though.
David Wright: 23:02
Sometimes Okay, I was just going to say cause, I, cause, we, we've both been in this, in in mental health for years and and I know you get some clients that are just, you can just they're not, they're not, they don't want to change, right, and you can, you can tell, you can just tell by their interactions, their body language, even the tone of their voice. And I'm not saying I'm by no means saying I have psychic ability, but a lot of that, if you can read deeper into people, people that can lie very well, but you will see it maybe, whereas I may not.
Morrigan Salatrik: 23:37
Yeah, I feel it in the energy too. I'll feel the energy drop or shift in some direction I'm like okay, what's going on here? Yeah, and they'll be like, well, what are you talking about? And I'm like, okay, you just said this, but you're doing this, and so I'll call them out that way, and then you know, I'll bring in some psycho see and to learn and to shift the behavior.
Morrigan Salatrik: 24:02
Because if you are here to heal or to shift your perception, healing is about shifting your perception and even if there's a feeling attached to it, what are we going to do? We're going to accept it, we're going to acknowledge it, we're going to integrate it and we're going to learn to love that piece, because we come into this world with what one soul, right, yeah, I mean. And then we go through life being raised on other people's beliefs our parents' beliefs, our grandparents' beliefs.
Announcer: 24:33
And then some type of crisis happens.
Morrigan Salatrik: 24:35
Yeah, and it's like well, this doesn't agree with me, it doesn't resonate with me. What am I to do? Where am I going? And things just don't feel right. And throughout our lives because I've done it too we put these little pieces that we don't like about ourselves or we're feeling we don't want to be judged on, and we put them into these different compartments or kind of like that old cartoon where you have that little kid that says, okay, I'll clean up my room, mom, and shows everything in the closet oh, yeah, and he closes the door and says it's done.
Morrigan Salatrik: 25:06
And then mom walks in oh here, you forgot this ball. And she opens up the door and everything comes spilling out. Same thing in our sessions. Right, we have to learn to fill these holes with love. And when the clients don't want to do that and they're like, oh okay, yeah, yeah, I am, it's that perception, yes, I well and and and.
David Wright: 25:28
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's probably because they've never felt the love that that's why that's why it feels foreign to them, because because they've, maybe they, maybe they've had a traumatic childhood, in adolescence and they just don't know what that's supposed to feel like. Right.
Morrigan Salatrik: 25:44
Yeah, once you're in a lot of different toxic relationships manipulation, narcissism when you find that one. Yeah, narcissism.
David Wright: 25:51
I know, yep, there's a lot of it.
Morrigan Salatrik: 25:54
Yeah, and then you find that one healthy relationship and you're like oh my gosh, what do I do? I push this away.
David Wright: 26:00
Well, they sabotage, they do they sabotage you. Yes, it's funny you say that because we just did a couple episodes on narcissism, maybe a month ago, just recently. So if you guys haven't listened to that one, jump back a few episodes, you'll find it. But yeah, it's just that we all do it.
David Wright: 26:17
Oh no, we all do it to some extent, and that's, that's my big thing. When I talk to clients and I say this when clients come in to see me, I will say them the very first session I said listen, everybody's fucked up. Everybody has something they can improve upon or work on. You're just one of the people who are choosing to do something about it. So I want to validate that they made the choice to even come in, so so, so I get it. We all have things that we can improve on and work on. So so, and I, I, because clients, some, you know, probably just in general clients feel like why am I so effed up and everybody else seems fine, and I tell them no, no, everybody else is not fine.
Morrigan Salatrik: 26:56
Right.
David Wright: 26:56
They're showing you that they're fine, but they're not really Deep down, probably not. I mean, there might be a few well-adjusted like I don't you never arrive. I guess that is my point.
Morrigan Salatrik: 27:10
The one thing about your healing journey that we're all going through it doesn't end.
David Wright: 27:15
Right, that's my point. Until the day we technically die. Yeah, absolutely.
Morrigan Salatrik: 27:19
You know, what is that death?
David Wright: 27:20
Yeah, right.
Morrigan Salatrik: 27:21
A death could just be. I'm closing out this cycle of these thoughts that I've had within myself for so many years. Yes, and I'm now speaking up for myself, loving myself, telling people no right Telling people no is a complete sentence. Yes, and a lot of clients are like oh well, wait, wait, I'm such a people pleaser.
David Wright: 27:46
Well, that's because you didn't. Well, because because that's that's what you were taught that you had to do, right and once that's locked in it's hard to break.
Morrigan Salatrik: 27:49
That it is. Yeah, it is absolutely.
David Wright: 27:49
I'm a former people pleaser, no I believe me, I know I, I was a yes person all through childhood and in adolescence.
Morrigan Salatrik: 27:55
Even so, yeah, I know exactly what you're saying yeah, and learning to let go that judgment of what other people think of you. That's a tough one If we are living our life to please somebody else or to not upset them, then you're not really living.
David Wright: 28:09
Yeah, absolutely, because you're just acting Right. It's like a role, right. So, folks, here's the thing. We're going to come back. I know this is super interesting.
