Trusting Spirit: Overcoming Doubt on Your Mediumship Journey

Let’s have an honest chat about mediumship’s least glamorous (but most common) companion: doubt. You know, that nagging voice in your head whispering, “Are you sure this isn’t just your imagination?” or “What if you’re completely wrong?” Yeah, that one. If you've ever felt like this, congratulations—you’re a perfectly normal human on your spiritual path.

The Truth About Doubt (Spoiler: We All Have It)

Here’s the thing most people don’t talk about: doubt never really goes away. I know, not the motivational pep talk you were expecting, but stay with me. Even experienced mediums who've delivered thousands of readings still get the occasional, “What if I’m just making this up?” moment. The difference is, they’ve learned how to work with doubt rather than letting it take the wheel.

Why Doubt Shows Up (And Why That’s Actually a Good Thing)

Doubt isn’t your enemy. In fact, it shows you care. You’re not trying to fake it or impress anyone; you genuinely want to be accurate, authentic, and helpful. That’s a good thing.

But here’s where doubt becomes a problem: when it paralyzes you. When it stops you from sharing that message, trusting that nudge, or stepping forward in your development. That’s when we need to have a little word with it.

Trusting Spirit: The Not-So-Secret Secret

Trust isn’t a magical moment where all fear disappears, and you suddenly feel 100% confident forever. (If you find that moment, let me know.) Trust is a practice, a choice you make over and over again.

Think of it like learning to ride a bike. The first few times are wobbly. You doubt. You fall. You question if you’ll ever get it. But with practice, you start to realise, “Hey, I’m doing it!” even if you still wobble occasionally. Mediumship is the same. The more you practice, the more you notice that, despite the doubt, your messages are landing, your connections are real, and Spirit isn’t letting you down.

Signs You’re Already More Connected Than You Think

1. You Get Random, Unprompted Thoughts: That sudden urge to mention a yellow balloon? That’s Spirit. (Unless you’re at a birthday party, then maybe not.)

2. You Feel “Pulled” Toward Certain Messages: When you can’t shake the feeling you need to say something, even if it feels silly—that’s a nudge.

3. Your Doubt Shows Up Right Before You Nail It: Funny how that works. Doubt often creeps in right before a breakthrough. It’s like the universe’s weird way of testing your resolve.

How to Overcome Doubt (Or At Least Keep It in Check)

1. Say It Anyway: Doubt thrives in silence. The more you hold back, the louder it gets. Share the message, even if you’re unsure. You’ll be surprised how often you’re right.

2. Keep a Validation Journal: Write down your intuitive hits and the feedback you receive. Over time, you’ll build undeniable proof that your connection is real.

3. Practice Regularly: The more you connect with Spirit, the more familiar and natural it feels. Doubt loses its grip when you’re consistently showing up.

4. Talk About It: Share your experiences with like-minded people. Hearing that others have the same struggles helps normalize the process.

5. Reframe Doubt as Curiosity: Instead of thinking, “What if I’m wrong?” try, “Let’s see what happens.” It takes the pressure off and opens the door for Spirit to surprise you.

Final Thoughts: Trust Isn’t the Absence of Doubt

Trust isn’t about never doubting. It’s about choosing to believe anyway. It’s about standing on the edge of uncertainty and saying, “I’m going to leap, even if my knees are shaking.”

So, the next time doubt creeps in, don’t fight it. Acknowledge it. Thank it for trying to keep you safe. Then gently remind it that you’re in charge, not fear. Because Spirit isn’t asking for perfection.

They’re just asking for you to show up.
