It can be very stressful for a client when they call a new adviser, unknown to them.  That is especially the case if the subject matter is very meaningful to the client.  It is important to recognize that all advisers have different talents, approach readings differently and may need different information in the first minute of the call.  Once you've committed to making that call, having the willingness to "go with the adviser" at the onset is important to the quality of your reading.  On the occasion I get a reading from another, I always ask "how would you like to begin?" or "what do you need from me?".  There are those that prefer you say nothing, those who ask for date of birth, and those who ask your location.  In my case, I often ask for the last date of contact because I am looking for that last strong energy link and moving forward to now.  The variations go on and on.  Try to be open minded and let your adviser work for you at the onset of the call, it will show itself soon enough if they are reading accurately for you or not.  Never underestimate your own intelligence and intuition in knowing that.  Always remember to have faith in yourself and have the benefit of the doubt for the new adviser that you selected.  This insures that you get the best that adviser has to offer you in that moment.  And that is what any client wants to begin with.

In my case, I possess all 4 clairs and my Guides use them interchangeably throughout readings, but they almost always start with clairaudience (hearing).  Because I'm hearing oriented, I need YOUR voice.  The more clear you are, the better off we are.  Additionally, I'm a very sensitive empath (feelings) / telepath (thoughts).  This comes to me very quickly once I'm "spring boarded" into your situation.  With me, the reading is far better off if you tell me the burning question that motivated you to pick up the phone to begin with.  Once I feel YOUR heart.....I'm on my way.  Beginning a conversation with me (and likely any adviser) in which you only say, "I want to know how he feels about me" doesn't give a lot to work with and makes you sound no different than 100's of others.  But you ARE different.  Your situation IS unique.  So at least for me, as an Empath, we are much better off with really getting to the heart of the matter fast.  Also, if that burning question is not being asked, as an Empath, I can "feel" the unspoken and it literally acts as a bit of a distraction to me because I'm being pulled toward the unspoken concern, while being asked to focus on the benign. 

These "helpful hints" are especially the case with my first time callers.  Those clients that know me and have called more than once, quickly learn to launch in immediately to what is really on their minds.  Once I know their energy, it takes no time for me to get into the situation and find their answers.  I have always described it as like a road map.  In the first few minutes of the first call, I am learning my way through your unique energy and circumstances.  Once I know it, I never forget and zoom my way through.

Obviously there are issues to watch out for as well.  Those advisers who seem unable to not speak of themselves is, of course, a problem.  There are those that seem compelled to tell you how to act / behave, etc. and it is very clear it is coming from their personal opinion, not psychic information.  And probably the one I dislike the most, is when they are projecting their own personal views / experiences / issues onto you, as the client.  When grossly overused cliches are stated such as, "once a cheat, always a cheat", this is a red flag that you may not be getting a true, objective psychic reading.   Our Guides don't tend to speak in cliches, at least mine don't.   These types of behaviors show themselves quickly and are, in my view, unprofessional, unethical and to be avoided once it becomes clear.  Fortunately, not all that many of us are like that. 

Again, all of us are different.  We're all going to get different details.  We all phrase things differently.  We all approach reading differently.  Some are very "flowery" in their speech.  Others are very factual, get down to the bare bone facts (this is more my style BTW).  So it is important for the client to learn their chosen adviser(s), just as much as it's important for the Adviser(s) to learn our clients.  After that it is for the client to decide what their preferred "style of adviser" is.  Style aside, never lose track of that you're always looking for honesty, and the truth.
