Garik Kharlamov Recounts An Encounter With A Psychic Amid Panic Attacks
During a recent appearance on Birth Chart, comedian Garik Kharlamov opened up about a troubling episode from his early thirties. He described a panic attack that struck when he was 30, a moment he could not fully explain at the time. In search of relief, Kharlamov sought contact with one of the winners from the reality show Battle of Psychics, asking a well-known intermediary, Sergei Safronov, to arrange a meeting with a psychic who had previously claimed victory on the program.
Kharlamov recalled a vivid scene from the meeting: a two-storey building that felt unsettling from the moment of entry. He described entering the building and encountering intense physical distress, including an episode of vomiting, which underscored the severity of his panic. He did not reveal the specific identity of the person he contacted, but he mentioned that the consultation came with a price tag of fifty thousand rubles. The advice given by the psychic to himself was simply to “listen to the water”. The comedian attempted to apply the guidance, yet it failed to alleviate his anxiety. Eventually, Kharlamov sought medical attention, and the panic eventually subsided with professional medical help.
Looking back, Kharlamov offered a cautionary stance about consulting those connected to the Battle of Psychics. His conclusion was clear: audiences should be cautious when approaching the winners or associated figures from the show, emphasizing personal health and professional medical support over unconventional channels.
Battle of Psychics is described as a mystical reality program featuring contestants who claim supernatural abilities. Across its history from season 1 through season 7, the show was hosted by actor Mikhail Porechenkov, with Marat Basharov taking over hosting duties from season 8 onward. Critics frequently point to criticisms regarding the program’s format, noting that the staged or choreographed elements can blur the lines between genuine phenomena and entertainment objectives. These discussions highlight the ongoing debate about the authenticity of claimed abilities and the impact such programs have on public perception of the paranormal.
In related discourse, Sergei Safronov has previously discussed how the Battle of Psychics controversy intersected with his personal health journey, revealing how the show’s narrative unexpectedly intersected with his experience with cancer. The broader conversation suggests that high-profile television narratives can influence personal decisions and health awareness, underscoring the importance of critical scrutiny and thoughtful counseling when confronting experiences tied to the supernatural or the unexplained.
