Interfere with their natural development

Hello

Many people carry very negative images and ideas about psychics that interfere with their natural development.

--- What "interferes with their natural development"? Images and ideas or psychics? I'm not sure this sentence above is clear to me, maybe rephrasing would help?

Thanks

More context would help. Presumably it is the negative images and ideas that supposedly interfere with people's natural development. In fact, I have never known even one person whose "natural development" has been so affected, let alone "many" people, but the alternative meaning (which is possible) seems even less likely.
