I always wonder how much power people give up when they use psychic advice. It's can be a form of not trusting yourself to feel out the situation or make a decision. Are readings thought of as a way to find a short cut or something? Or a form of trying to know something that maybe no one knows?
I totally agree with you. That's why I think that, at most, it should be an interesting new perspective, but it shouldn't be given anymore credibility just because it is from a psychic.
