Why We Trust the Wrong Teachers

from Mediumship Matters with Hannah Macintyre

Why do we trust people who sound certain... even when something inside us is telling us to walk away? In this episode, I'm exploring one of the biggest challenges in mediumship development: finding teachers who empower you rather than making you dependent on them. Inspired by a couple of fascinating documentaries about charismatic leaders, we explore why confidence can be so persuasive—even when it's misplaced. We talk about: Why certainty is so attractive The danger of handing your power to a teacher What healthy mediumship development should look like Why I believe development happens in seasons Red flags to watch out for in spiritual teaching And why trusting yourself is one of the most important skills you'll ever develop. Because the goal of a good teacher isn't to make you need them forever. It's to help you trust yourself. I'm starting a circle, and you're invited. Most people developing their mediumship are doing it on their own. From September I'm running a monthly development circle inside Spirit Social, where you practise with other people instead of just reading about it. Over 12 monthly live events, alongside daily card readings and live demonstrations. Come and join us: https://onelink.to/pgwzuq
