When looking for a psychic, it’s important to know that there are many services that you can find on Facebook, Instagram, or other places. Some will scam you, and there are some sites that are actually good, but you need to be careful and know what to watch out for.
Whether you want to get a psychic reading with a medium, an astrological reading, or even a tarot card reading, knowing what to look for can help you get the most out of your reading. Before we go further with what to be on the lookout for, remember that a psychic should never replace medical or legal help. Here’s what to watch out for in psychics!
Energy Vampires
An energy vampire that is a psychic will leave you feeling tired and drained of your energy. When you’re around them, you might even feel depressed. Sometimes, an energy vampire doesn’t know that they are that way, but you will notice right away because of how they make you feel.
If you’ve talked to a psychic and been around them and you feel tired, this can mean that you are around an energy vampire.
Trauma Dumping
If you’re paying to get a reading, this reading should be about you. Trauma dumping is part of being an energy vampire, and if the psychic is telling you all about how hard or bad their life is, it isn’t okay. They should never charge you for giving them therapy.
A psychic might give you an example of their life to teach you, but they should go forward to make the reading about you, and if they don’t, end the reading right away and try to get your money back.
Selling More Spells
Sometimes, when a psychic is trying to fraud someone, they will tell you that you need to pay more for things like removing negative energy or removing curses. This is to get you to pay more money, and a psychic should never tell you that. This is a major red flag to look out for.
The psychic should help you to take action to live your best life, and if you are getting charged to do more or to get more information or if they are pressuring you, this is bad business.
Negativity
Another thing that a psychic should never do is to give you just negative information. A psychic is meant to help you find ways to live a better life and not to scare you or make you feel worried. If you are afraid during your reading, you need to make sure to end the reading and leave a review. Leaving a review will help other people to avoid someone that is scamming them.
Looking at Google and Facebook reviews are reviews that cannot be edited, and these are normally safe to believe.
Health Advice
Another thing to be on the lookout for is health advice. If a psychic tells you to stop taking your medicine or to stop seeing a doctor, this is dangerous, and you should get out of the reading right away.
Another thing that shouldn’t happen is that your psychic shouldn’t convince you to come back or to use their services for legal or professional advice. They should never offer you any of that kind of advice.
An ethical psychic will have a policy that refrains from giving false advice. They should never tell you the winning lottery numbers or tell you things about your health that are dangerous. Another thing that they should never tell you is whether you’re pregnant or not. This isn’t up to them, but it is up to your doctors.
All Positivity
Psychics should never tell you that everything in your life is perfect or give you just the advice that you want to hear. A good psychic will tell you things that are challenging to make you think and to help you know what action you can take to better your life.
These kinds of psychics will never give you bad news, and that isn’t realistic. Everyone has some negativity in their lives, and they should help you to make better choices.
Timing
A good reader will not try to get you to keep coming back for a reading one after the other. Ethical psychics will tell you that you should wait about six months before you go to another reading. They should never try to get you to be dependent on them.
With an astrological reading, these are based around your birth chart and the planets and stars, and these can help you to know if you’re compatible and things about your personality. You should still not get one of these one after the other.
It’s your choice how often you want to get a reading, but you shouldn’t be getting a reading day after day, or it can stop you from making your own decisions.
Pricing
Some psychics are going to be more skilled than others, and that’s why the prices are so different. If a psychic asks you for thousands of dollars, don’t use them. An ethical psychic will let you know what the prices are upfront and will not trick you into spending too much money.
Ethical readings will offer you reasonable prices and services. Listen to your intuition and know if something doesn’t feel right, don’t use that psychic.
Final Thoughts
Psychics are there to help you, and if you see any of the things above, don’t choose that psychic. Always listen to your intuition to guide you. A psychic with a good reputation will be known by their reviews.
