How can I respond when a reading makes a claim about a living relative?

A reading might mention a living family member who is not present. How can you set a boundary around that person's privacy and avoid repeating an unverified claim as fact? What could you say to bring the conversation back to your own questions and experience?

You can say, 'I do not want to discuss someone who is not here; please return to my question.' Keep the statement in your notes as an unverified claim rather than passing it on to family as a fact. If you later talk with the relative, let that be an ordinary conversation based on what they choose to share, not a demand to confirm the reading.
