Psychic readings allow people to ask questions and to learn more about themselves and the life around them. Being a psychic means that you are a caring person and that you should follow a certain ethical code. Psychics should treat their clients just like other jobs treat their clients. They are responsible for making sure that they keep client information sensitive and that they treat people with respect.
Understanding Psychic Readings and Ethics
A psychic reading should leave you feeling free and peaceful. When psychics choose to not follow ethics, this can be upsetting, and it can cause you to feel let down and cheated. Mediums, tarot card readers and other psychics have different practices, but ethics don’t change. Here are some of the ethics that real psychics have!
Integrity and Honesty
One of the best ethics that a psychic can have been to have integrity and honesty. People come when they have something going on in their life and they need to hear the truth. It is important that the psychic doesn’t mislead or be deceptive during a reading. Psychics can hurt a client and can cause them damage if they aren’t ethical.
Exploiting Vulnerable People
People are very vulnerable when they share their information with a psychic. They should never make you fearful or cause you to feel that you are going to be hurt if you don’t listen to them. They should always focus on guiding you and supporting you and not exploiting you.
Respect for Privacy
One important ethic is that the psychic respects the clients privacy. They should never give any of the clients information to anyone else. It is unethical for a psychic to share the information of any client with anyone else.
Consent
Clients should know that they are consenting to the reading and the psychic should be very clear on this. When the psychic covers a topic that the client is wanting to know about, they should make sure that the client is asking that question and the client is giving their consent.
Informing the Clients
It is important that the psychic informs the client. They should know what the reading is going to be like, and they should know what the psychic is going to do. Here is part of the informed consent that the client should be offered:
Understanding Services
The client should be told by the psychic what the services are that they offer. They should know what kind of reading they are getting and where the advice is coming from. They should know if they are getting a mediumship or a tarot card reading.
Cost
Another thing that the client should always be aware of is the cost of the reading. They should know how long the reading will last and how much it will cost them. This allows them not to be taken advantage of financially.
Guarantees
Psychics are not able to give exact advice all the time and sometimes they get things wrong. This can be that the psychic doesn’t see the energy or because of free will. Regardless of the reason, the client should know that the psychic can’t guarantee their reading to always be accurate. Another thing, a client should never decline professional advice over a psychic.
Recording
A psychic should always tell a client if they are going to record the session. They should know this in advance, and this gives the client control over their own personal information.
Sensitive Information
During a reading, a psychic might get information that is very sensitive from the client. This needs to be handled in an ethical way.
Compassion
Psychics should have compassion and care for the client when they share information about things that are sensitive to them. They should be emotionally supportive to the client when the client is in pain or distress.
Setting Boundaries
Psychics must have boundaries when it comes to having a client. They don’t ever want to be put into situations that are dangerous or uncomfortable with a client. They should never give out their phone numbers or addresses.
Referrals
If a psychic has something serious that happens during a reading such as someone talking about suicide, it is up to the psychic to give guidance for the client to seek professional help. Never try to replace professional advice of doctors or mental health professionals.
Using Best Ethics
It is important that a psychic uses their best ethics when they are giving readings. Here is how to make that happen!
Self-Reflection
Psychics need to meditate and have self-reflection before they ever give a reading. This allows them to have ethical standards and to answer questions without biases.
Training
A good psychic should train and do what it takes to develop their skills. This will help them to grow and to be ethical.
Professional Association
A reputable psychic should join a spiritual association, and this will help them to stay ethical when they are doing a reading. This allows the client to be able to reach out if ethical violations happen.
Being Transparent
Psychics should tell the client what their limitations are just like they share their skills. They should never say if they can do something that they cannot or overstate their skills.
Feedback
It is important that a psychic receives customer feedback rather this is good or bad. This allows the site to be transparent and keeps the psychic accountable.
Final Thoughts
In order to be a great psychic, they have to follow ethical practices. This is true in any industry including in psychic readings. It is important that the psychic is honest, responsible in handling sensitive information, following ethical practices and principles and that they provide guidance and support to their clients.
