It seems you have a misunderstanding about what a psychic reading is. When I got a reading from Erin, it wasn't because she had insight into realities I can't see; it was because she could see a different perspective on the reality I'm living now. I gave away NONE of my control to her. What I got from her was a deeper understanding of where I was, and how I was stuck.
I've given a few readings here and there, as I'm moved to. I don't call it psychic, because once you do, people believe you can see the future, etc. I can't. What I offer is deeper insight into where people are right now. Here's an example: Someone contacted me to do a reading about her work situation. Here's what I saw: two ribbons that were being held down by a weight, which I knew represented her. If she left, the ribbons would unspool and be blown about. She had a choice about whether to get off of the ribbons or not. Either way, it would be fine. She was afraid to leave
because the ribbons would unspool, but I told her things would unfold exactly as they were supposed to. She could stay, or not.
Now - to me, this actually seems unremarkable. In her e-mail, all she said was, "I need clarity on my work situation." I e-mailed back what I saw. I was reluctant to do so, because it made no sense to me. BUT - I committed to send her what I got, so I did.
Well - she was SO happy with her reading! Because it was a situation at work where it was a small company, just her and the two owners. (hence the two ribbons) They were not adept at running a company, and it was only through her efforts that the company had stayed afloat. On one hand, she didn't want to leave, because the company might well go under if she did. On the other, she was feeling weighed down with the responsibility she had there. (hence seeing her as a weight)
Seeing it this way gave her a clarity about her situation that she didn't have before. She may have been able to gain that clarity on her own, but - a minute to send an e-mail to me, a day's wait until I sent her my response, and there it was! She didn't give me any power. Her locus of control was still centered in herself.
