It is sickening and yes, for that very reason.  I would be happy to be spending this much money if readings were the "magic bullet" to me feeling great, but they don't.  I've been having a good last few days.  Some of that is due to finally looking at my credit card statements and getting real about how I'm going to pay them.

Yep keep making a huge promise I’m going to stop and breaking it just like that. I even saw a therapist about a week ago. She gave me some strategies to help me not get readings well guess what “didn’t work”. I’m supposed to meet with her on the 30th and I have several readings since our session embarrassing. I did so good last week not getting readings. I made a mistake over the weekend and told my POI I went on a date cuz I was upset with him and wanted to make him jealous. Well all I did is steer up more worry so my binge begin and it’s out of control cuz he’s being distant now😥

Yes, figuring out WHY you are calling is the big piece.  For me, it's part just wanting to talk about the situation, part feeling a compulsion to know the future so I can prepare for it, even though also I know I don't trust the predictions.  Before calling, sit with it for a second, ask yourself why you are calling and whether calling is going to help alleviate the feeling.

I'm sorry that you felt embarrassed with the therapist.  I told my therapist about the readings and felt embarrassed too.

She did help me to process the WHY piece... not only do I want to know the future but it's also that I don't trust myself to handle what's coming at me in the future without preparing myself via the calls.  Maybe that resonates for you too.

One thing that helped me is that I added up all the money I spent last year and was appalled at how high the amount was. Then, I hired a personal financial advisor who advised me on my financial and retirement projections.  I saw how putting the $ I used on psychics could be used more effectively. And, now I'm hooked....I don't want to spend that money because I want to invest it. 

So, ask yourself...where I could use that money?  For a car?

Or, if you have a surplus of cash, how could you contribute to someone or something who really needs financial help?  I wish I would have given the money I spent in 2019 to my church, just saying....

One reason that I have not heard much on this site regarding reasons for calling psychics is that callers may just be LONELY. I am single and have limited access to talking to people about my every day life, work issues, etc.  I have an executive level job with much responsibility and work many hours.  My family and friends are primarily on one coast so when I'm driving home from work there are limited people to talk to.  So, I now try to fit quality conversation time during a lunch...somewhere...so I have a connection with those I care about. And when I get home from work I replace calling psychics with reading my Bible or watching TV.
