The “Mind Reading” Myth

With all the celebrating and socialising lately

I’ve been reminded

Of what is  probably the most frequent pitfall of being a Psychic Medium

 

When people meet me or chat with me

I”m often asked:

“So…. What do you do?”

 

It’s a question that can lead to conversation

Or NOT

 

The response

Has 2 very distinct reactions

People either lean in

Eyes wide

And want you to tell them EVERYTHING

Or….

They exit your general sphere as quickly as possible

Often casting backward glances to ensure you’re not pursuing them

 

I want to be clear

I want to educate

And I want to leave this misnomer in the dirt

Where it belongs

 

Psychics DO NOT read your mind.

 

It’s quite simply

Just not how it works

 

“Your thoughts”

Are called that

By nature of the fact

THEY ARE

Yours

And only yours

No other person can read them

Unless you share them

And to do that

You have to be invited

 

There’s also this other little misconception…

That those of us that do this work

Are a 24hr, 7 day a week, hotspot

If you’re worth getting a reading from

You don’t operate like that

 

Show me a tradie you can randomly approach

Who will immediately pull out a wrench

And start tinkering because you crossed paths

We’re no different

When this work is done seriously

As an act of service

And supported by training, experience, or credentials

You would need to be invited

 

That’s what appointments are for

Or dedicated time

 

Intention is important in any endeavour

Nothing much happens without it

It’s relevant here

The recipient is only ever that

If that is your clear intent

And you action it

 

When someone makes a booking

They are actively granting permission

To engage with my services and skillset

They’re seeking insight, answers, or clarity

Often there’s a specific question or subject they wish to explore

There is a need to be filled

And shared

 

Being a Psychic Medium

Does not mean you’re digging through whatever occupies the confines of others minds

It’s only there if you WANT it

Not, if you don’t

 

We’re not offended

If it’s not your thing

But it is a little sharp

To be dubbed a snoop

Simply because we have an ability

 

For the greater portion of my life

I had other careers

And the vast majority of people I met

Had absolutely NO idea

I had these skills

 

I’m apparently….

Considered great company

Good fun

Easy to talk to

I “make people feel seen and heard”

AND.. that’s just me being social

 

I hope this creates clarity

And brings ease

Relax

Your secrets are safe

And conversation

Is not consent

 

Much love

Kate
