LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In 'Theresa Caputo: Raising Spirits' Season 1, Theresa Caputo opened up to her fans about the profound impact of the 9/11 attack on her. During a reading for a woman who lost her father in the tragic event, Theresa acknowledged the mental challenges she faced in September 2001.

While Islamist suicide terrorist attacks claimed hundreds of lives, Theresa was grappling with her psychic abilities. She candidly confessed to a "mental struggle" while coming to terms with being a spirit reader.

In the Lifetime show, the reality star revealed that she began sensing numerous spirits after 9/11, leading to her acceptance of the role as a "soul medium."

Theresa first began sensing spirits at the tender age of 4, but it wasn't until her 20s that she fully developed and accepted these abilities.
