Being the "Bad Guy"
The hardest part about my job is giving bad news. I don’t want a client to walk away feeling upset but I certainly cannot lie. It is my job to be honest, ethical and empower a client. As one of my advisors told me, so wisely, “You are only a channel.” She said that whatever I do or don’t pick up, I am not responsible for it. I am just the messenger. I tell it as I pick it up from Spirit and Spirit guides. Sometimes the pill I deliver to another is a difficult one to swallow.
This doesn’t mean that I don’t have a soft spot for a client’s situation, especially when other experts have told them, “Oh, chin up! That guy doesn’t love his wife. He’ll leave her!” I’m human, too, and I know what it’s like to believe so strongly something is going to happen, investing so much energy, only to have my hopes dashed. This is why as the “bad guy” I will tell it like it is. If Spirit shows me you have invested so much of yourself into a situation and lost sight of what is truly important, you will hear it. Not because I get my kicks out of offering up a severe spiritual butt kicking (I am actually a rather docile person), but because you need to hear it. Spirit knows you are strong and has faith in you. Trust you have been guided to hear the bad news, swallow it, digest it and ask for divine guidance. You can heal, you can forgive, you can move forward. You are a warrior!
Being the “bad guy” really isn’t so bad. Sure, I have pissed people off. I have received backlash for voicing what Spirit has said or shown me. In reality, it’s a stepping stone for the client. If a client is angry at me and the result is that he/she heard the message, then so be it. Everything is energy and a conversation is no different. The seeds are planted and a client can put everything in motion when he/she is ready.
