The biggest myths about talking to a psychic, debunked

September 17, 2020 Cynthia Madison

Psychics are some of the most fascinating people, and also the most misunderstood ones. The gift they were born with allows them to identify information about yourself that’s hidden to the regular senses, give you insights about the areas of your life that intrigue you the most, and even offer you some guidance when you’re not sure what steps to take next. But while many people are curious to talk to a psychic at least once in their lives, they also have a lot of misconceptions as to what a psychic session actually entails. We have movies and pop culture to thank for this, but psychics aren’t these creepy individuals that can put a curse on you and predict the exact time and place of your death. Talking to a psychic can be a truly empowering and revelatory experience, but, to enjoy it these benefits, first, you have to walk into the session with realistic expectations. And that includes debunking the crazy myths that psychics are associated with.

Myth #1: Psychics can predict your future down to the smallest details

At what age will I get married? How many kids will I have? When will I find my dream job? When and how will I die? Some people would love to know the answers to these questions, others would feel really uncomfortable if they did. But it really doesn’t matter what exact details we’d like to know about the future because neither a psychic nor anyone else can give them to you. No matter what old tales and pop culture have ingrained in our collective imagination, psychics can’t see specific details about your future. If they claim to, they’re trying to scam you and take your money, so you watch out for those kinds of people. While physics can give you a general idea as to what you could expect from a certain area of your life, the circumstances can change, and it’s still up to you to turn it into reality.

Myth #2: Psychics can put a curse on you

Again a myth that has been perpetuated by horror stories and pop culture, the idea that a psychic can somehow put a curse on you is completely untrue. Psychics can’t do that, and if someone threatens you to pay extra or give them money, so they don’t curse you, it’s just a cheap trick used to scam innocent people. Also, if a psychic tells you that someone else has put a curse on you and asks you for money to lift it, they’re a scam. When you come across psychics that bring up curses, it’s best to stop talking to them immediately and report them if possible. True psychics are professional, gifted individuals, and these scam artists affect the reputation of the entire profession.

Myth #3: Psychics will foresee tragic life events

Some people avoid seeing a psychic for fear they might be told about something deeply unsettling, such as a death in the family, an accident, or a chain of unfortunate events. Needless to say, that’s not how a real reading goes. Professional psychics don’t want to scare you and make you feel uncomfortable; on the contrary, they want to empower and help you. In fact, psychics follow a strict code of conduct and avoid telling about distressing events. Instead, their attitude is proactive, giving you insights into the general lifestyle changes you can make to prevent unfortunate events such as toxic relationships, stress, and relationship problems. Again, it’s all up to you how you make these changes, and simply talking to a psychic won’t set the wheel of fortune in motion.

Myth #4: True psychics are hard to find

Do you have to travel to a shady part of town to meet with a psychic, or drive to a small village in the countryside where a mysterious psychic will wait for you in a caravan? No, and no. Good psychics are actually not hard to find, and, even if you don’t know one near you, you can still have a psychic session online. Readers are just as effective via phone or video call as they are face-to-face, so if it’s more comfortable for you to have a psychic reading in the comfort of your home, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t do that. There are even dedicated online portals where you can browse through psychic profiles, read reviews, and choose one depending on your preferences.

Myth #5: Psychics will rob you of every penny

If the things that psychics can do sound great, but you’re hesitating to talk to one because you think they’re really expensive, it’s time to stop worrying because, in reality, psychic services can be very affordable. First of all, as we mentioned before, real psychics will never overcharge you to break curses, nor will they force you to keep coming back for readings every other day. These are shady practices, and they make the exception, not the rule. And secondly, you can find deals for psychic sessions as you would for any other services. For example, you can talk to a psychic over the phone for free during the first session, get free minutes, or get discounts on introductory packages. And besides, good psychic services offer value for money. In a $1.99 10-minute psychic reading, you can get many valuable insights, and that’s the only reading you need for months, so no, psychic readings don’t break the bank.

Myth #6: A psychic is never wrong

Talking to a psychic can empower and give you clarity. However, not even psychics themselves claim to be 100% right all the time, and if they do, they’re probably lying. Regardless of their exceptional talent, psychics are human beings, and they can sometimes misinterpret signs, and even though you did all they advised you to do, results may be late to appear. But that’s just the course of life, and things can work out in surprising ways.
