Psychic Ethical Standards and Practice 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A client becomes emotionally dependent on a psychic reader, calling daily for guidance. What is the most ethical response?
- Encourage continued sessions as it shows strong connection
- Gently set boundaries and suggest the client seek additional professional support (Correct answer)
- Ignore the behavior since the client is paying
- Refer the client to another psychic reader immediately
Correct answer: Gently set boundaries and suggest the client seek additional professional support
Ethical practitioners recognize unhealthy dependency and redirect clients toward appropriate support rather than exploiting the attachment.
Question 2: When is it appropriate for a psychic reader to guarantee specific outcomes for a client?
- When the reading is exceptionally clear
- When the client is paying a premium fee
- Never — ethical readers do not guarantee specific outcomes (Correct answer)
- Only when the client signs a disclaimer
Correct answer: Never — ethical readers do not guarantee specific outcomes
Guaranteeing outcomes is considered unethical because psychic readings involve interpretation and the future remains fluid based on free will.
Question 3: A psychic reader discovers during a session that a client plans to harm themselves. What should the reader do?
- Continue the reading without addressing it to maintain focus
- Provide crisis resources and strongly encourage the client to seek professional help (Correct answer)
- Keep it confidential since readings are private
- Tell the client their guides will protect them
Correct answer: Provide crisis resources and strongly encourage the client to seek professional help
Safety overrides confidentiality; ethical readers always provide crisis resources and urge professional help when self-harm is disclosed.
Question 4: Which practice best demonstrates transparency in psychic services?
- Using vague language so clients interpret results favorably
- Clearly stating fees, service limitations, and the nature of psychic work upfront (Correct answer)
- Emphasizing only positive outcomes to keep clients returning
- Claiming government certification for legitimacy
Correct answer: Clearly stating fees, service limitations, and the nature of psychic work upfront
Transparency requires honest communication about what services entail, their limitations, and all associated costs before a session begins.
Question 5: How should a psychic reader handle a client who asks for medical advice during a session?
- Provide intuitive medical guidance since they may have insight others lack
- Decline and strongly advise the client to consult a licensed medical professional (Correct answer)
- Offer general wellness suggestions only
- Read the client's energy to diagnose their condition
Correct answer: Decline and strongly advise the client to consult a licensed medical professional
Psychic readers are not licensed medical professionals and must never substitute intuitive guidance for proper medical care.
Question 6: A client shares highly personal information during a reading. What is the ethical obligation regarding this information?
- Share it with other readers to improve collective insight
- Use it to personalize future marketing messages
- Keep it strictly confidential unless safety concerns arise (Correct answer)
- Document it publicly to help similar clients
Correct answer: Keep it strictly confidential unless safety concerns arise
Client confidentiality is a cornerstone of ethical practice; personal disclosures must be protected except when safety requires disclosure.
Question 7: What does 'informed consent' mean in the context of psychic services?
- The client agrees to believe all information given
- The client understands the nature, limitations, and costs of the service before proceeding (Correct answer)
- The client signs a form releasing the reader from liability
- The client consents to being contacted for future promotions
Correct answer: The client understands the nature, limitations, and costs of the service before proceeding
Informed consent means clients fully understand what they are agreeing to, including the speculative nature of psychic readings, before the session begins.
