How to Prepare for a Psychic or Mediumship Reading

People often arrive at a psychic or mediumship reading feeling a mix of curiosity, hope, and nerves. That’s normal. You don’t need to do anything elaborate or ritualistic to prepare, but a few simple steps can help you get the most from the experience.

Know what kind of session you want

Psychic readings and mediumship sessions are not the same thing.

Psychic readings focus on the living. They explore relationships, life direction, emotional patterns, and current influences.

Mediumship sessions focus on connection with loved ones who have passed.

You do not need to force a decision if you are unsure (Susan offers combination readings), but having a general intention helps the session unfold more smoothly.

Come with openness, not expectation

The biggest mistake people make is deciding ahead of time exactly what should happen. Mediumship does not work on demand, and psychic insight is not a scripted performance.

The most meaningful sessions happen when clients stay open rather than testing, guessing, or trying to control the process.

You do not need to provide information or try to help the reading along. Silence is fine. Listening is enough.

Emotional honesty matters more than positivity

You do not need to be calm, optimistic, or “high vibe.” Grief, confusion, skepticism, and emotional fatigue are all welcome in a session.

Trying to suppress how you actually feel tends to block clarity more than difficult emotions do.

Avoid substances before a session

This matters! Alcohol or recreational drugs dull awareness and interfere with focus. If you want a clear session, come in clear.

Let the session integrate afterward

Many people feel calmer or lighter immediately. Others notice insights unfolding over days or weeks. There is no correct response.

Avoid rushing to analyze every detail right away. Let the experience settle.

If this resonates, private psychic and mediumship sessions are available by phone worldwide, with limited in person availability in Los Angeles.
