Have you ever wondered what it takes for a psychic medium to effectively connect with the spirit world? Or how they manage to stay grounded while navigating intense emotions and energies? Then you’ll want to keep reading.
Psychics need to be assertive to keep control during sessions, set clear boundaries with both spirits and clients, and protect their own energy. This helps them communicate better, avoid feeling overwhelmed, and make sure they’re giving the best experience while taking care of themselves.
Here are all 10 reason why psychic mediums need to be assertive to thrive as a professional mediums:
1. Setting Boundaries Between Worlds
Mediums often communicate with spirits, and this can be overwhelming if they don’t set boundaries. For example, imagine a medium is in the middle of a session, and multiple spirits try to communicate at once. Without being assertive, the medium might feel overwhelmed and lose control of the session. That is why it is important to regularly ‘sit in the power‘ and build to build your energy. By firmly asking each spirit to wait their turn or deciding which messages to prioritize, the medium can manage the situation effectively, ensuring a smooth and meaningful session.
2. Communicating Clearly with Clients
Clients often come to mediums seeking answers about loved ones who have passed on, but sometimes their expectations can be unrealistic. For instance, a client might expect the medium to deliver a specific message or predict future events with absolute certainty. An assertive medium would gently but clearly explain that while they can provide insights, they cannot control what information the spirit chooses to share. This helps set realistic expectations and avoids misunderstandings or disappointment.
3. Protecting your Own Energy
Mediums often take on the emotions and energies of others, which can be draining. For example, after a particularly emotional session where a client is grieving deeply, a medium might feel emotionally exhausted. An assertive medium would recognize the need to recharge and might decide to take a break, limit the number of sessions they do in a day, or practice self-care rituals to protect their energy. This ensures they don’t burn out and can continue to help others.
4. Respectfully Handle Skeptics and Critics
Not everyone believes in psychic abilities, and mediums often encounter skeptics who challenge their work. For instance, during a public event, a skeptic might confront a medium, questioning the legitimacy of their abilities in front of others. An assertive medium would calmly explain their experiences and the purpose of their work without becoming defensive. They might say something like, “I understand your skepticism, but my goal is to provide comfort and guidance to those who find value in it.” This approach maintains their dignity and keeps the conversation respectful.
5. Empowering Clients to trust their intuition
Mediums not only relay messages from spirits but also help clients feel empowered in their own lives. For example, if a client is unsure about a decision and seeks guidance from the spirit world, an assertive medium might deliver the message with confidence, while also encouraging the client to trust their own intuition. They might say, “The message I’m receiving suggests that you already know what the right choice is. Trust yourself.” This approach empowers the client to take control of their decisions.
6. Follow and maintain Ethical standards
Sometimes, clients might request things that go against a medium’s ethical standards. For instance, a client might ask a medium to communicate with a spirit for selfish reasons, like trying to influence someone else’s decisions. An assertive medium would politely refuse, saying, “I’m here to help and provide guidance, but I need to ensure that everything I do is in line with my values. I cannot proceed with this request.” This keeps the medium’s work ethical and respectful.

7. keep developing as a Professional medium
To grow in their career, mediums need to seek out learning opportunities and set goals. For example, a medium might want to take advanced training in a specific type of psychic work or ask for feedback from clients to improve their practice. An assertive medium would not hesitate to invest in their growth, whether it’s by signing up for a course, attending a workshop, or even negotiating fair compensation for their services. This ensures that they continue to evolve and succeed in their field.

8. Adapt to your Clients Needs
Clients come to mediums with a wide range of needs and expectations. For instance, a client might demand more information than the medium can provide or push for answers to questions that the medium isn’t comfortable addressing. An assertive medium would calmly explain their boundaries, such as, “I can share what I’m receiving, but I cannot guarantee specific details.” This helps manage the session effectively while still respecting the client’s needs.
9. Set clear boundaries during sessions
In some cases, clients or even other professionals may unintentionally try to take advantage of a medium’s kindness or abilities. For example, a client might pressure a medium to lower their fees or offer more services than agreed upon. As a professional medium it is important to protect these boundaries. Simply communicate that your fees are set based on the value of my services, and your believe in fair compensation for your work.” This ensures your work is respected and fairly compensated too.
10. Building Confidence
Mediumship can be challenging, and self-doubt can creep in, especially when the messages received are unclear or difficult to interpret. For example, if a medium receives a message that doesn’t immediately make sense, an assertive medium would trust their intuition and confidently share the message, even if it’s puzzling at first. They might say, “I’m getting this image, and I’m not sure what it means right now, but it could become clearer as we continue.” This confidence helps the client trust the process and often leads to meaningful connections and insights.
