Learning to Cope with Your Psychic Gifting

There can be good things and bad things with having a psychic gifting and if you want to be a psychic, you need to know that having a gift is not always easy and it can be hard to cope with some things.

Empath

When you do a psychic reading for people, it can cause you to become overwhelmed sometimes. Psychics are often empaths and someone that is an empath is someone that picks up the energy and emotions of other people. Even if you are talking to someone face to face or miles away over a phone call, their emotions can become your emotions.

When you talk to someone that is sad, depressed, fearful, or angry, you can feel those feelings. Many people that are seeking a psychic have bad things that are happening in their life and when you realize what is going on with them, you have to be able to know if their feelings are becoming your feelings or if you are having your own emotions.

There are many disadvantages about being an empath, especially as a psychic. When you have to put your emotions on the line each and every day, it can make you feel vulnerable and make it hard to guide others that need you. Always make sure that you have good self-care and that you set up boundaries in your life.

What People Think About Psychics

When you talk to people that are asking you questions that are challenging or that you cannot answer, it can be hard and frustrating.

When a psychic cannot answer a question, some clients will believe that they are fake, and they will label them as frauds. This can be hurtful if you are really doing your best to guide them.

Handling Negative Opinions

Being a psychic might not be easy, but it is something that is a gift to embrace. The best way to handle hard readings is to give yourself a break and be compassionate with yourself. Take time to meditate and have break times and be loving to yourself even when you make someone unhappy.

Don’t let other people pull you down. If someone gives you an opinion and they want you to be able to improve who you are and what you do, take it and be happy with it, but if they are criticizing you, ignore them and do not have negative self-judgement.

You will never like your work if you always are being negative. Find the balance between your work and having the self-care that you need to be strong.
