There can be advantages to working with an assistant. For example, sharing the load can help to lower your exhaustion, it can be helpful when dealing with difficult spirits, trance channels often need them to communicate with the spirit while they channel it.

If you need another person to communicate with the spirit, the person who you choose to assist you is very important. It is crucial that this person is level headed and will not become afraid no matter what the spirit does. It must be someone who is not easily 'led' or given to imagining things around them a lot. They should be a person who can think like a therapist or psychologist and will focus on the appropriate areas. They need to be informed about all parts of this process as much as you do plus they need to be aware of exactly how you work with the channelling of a spirit if it's their role to communicate with the spirit. It's ok to ask questions about the spirit and their last lifetime etc, regardless of whether it's you or the assistant doing so, but it's important to keep it to a minimum.

I had a situation once when somebody was assisting me with a spirit removal, where they got sidetracked and kept asking more and more questions out of curiosity about the spirit's last lifetime and death etc. The spirit got very annoyed as she felt that she was being used as a curiosity piece and felt disrespected. Some spirits love to talk and will rave on forever if you let them. Again, you need to 'feel' out the situation and work appropriately with the spirit. The whole aim of a spirit rescue is to make the spirit comfortable enough to cross over so basically you only need to deal with the fear or the reason that keeps them on our plane and once they're ready, get them to cross over as soon as possible.

Stick with it!

Once you start a rescue, do it with the intention of completing it. If you are not able to convince the spirit to cross over immediately, but you at least get them to consider it, that's okay, but in some cases, it can anger the spirit when you bring up the subject of crossing over so try to complete what you begin and that will prevent them from taking off and avoiding all future attempts to help them.

The object is to get them to calm down or understand that they no longer have a role to play in the physical realm. If they remain for family, help them understand that anything they can do relating to family etc. can be done even better from the other side. Entice them across with something that they would enjoy. Young children sometimes are enticed by their family awaiting them, some people miss their pets, partner or other relatives. Some just need to know that they will be okay.

Spirits who feel the need to find help in solving a violent or unexpected ending can also complete their quest from the other side. They will also have the support they need rather than feeling like they need to deal with the situation all by themselves.
