For Entertainment purposes Only - you weren’t scammed

The posts on this thread are painfully close to home 😔. I spoke with a medium a few years ago who said that a lot of people (including herself) go through similar experiences before making changes. It’s some kind of rite of passage. Recovery is no different than any other addiction.
Sunshineluv7 made a great point: if you can get to the point where you can hear these predictions but remain detached from the outcome, you’ve reached a healthy place. It took me about a decade to get there. My ex spouse (of all people) is the most supportive. Maybe because He knows he was part of the reason why I went down this road to begin with 😂😂

I don’t think that reading with a psychic puts a jinx on the relationship as mentioned above. It’s usually my signal that - something is probably NOT right from the start. The reading is just a symptom of feeling not in control, anxious, etc… so the relationship may not work out, probably because I was already sensing that something was not right in the partnership.
I have no problems in speaking with psychics who think they have a gift. At the very least, the change in perspective that I get is worth the price :) it’s the “psychics” who KNOW they have very little to offer (or are downright fraudulent) that really irk me.
Learning to self-soothe versus calling a stranger for reassurance has been hard, but worth it. On my way to just using them just for “entertainment purposes” ::)

This is exactly how I feel anytime a prediction happens. There's a great article written by a former reader who explains the tricks of the trade and how she, despite not having any psychic abilities, managed to make accurate predictions and maintain a loyal client base. Unsurprisingly, she either made educated guesses and/or relied on leading information, body language, and social cues from the client to help guide her through a reading. Also, we forget some of these readers have been doing this for decades - long enough to have heard our stories, in some form or another, many times over. I have more recently started to liken psychics to stage magicians because they actually have a lot in common and if you start to think of readings like magic tricks, things will start to make a lot more sense.
