Have you had clients who were so needy that you found a way not to read for them? I see that in other counseling professionals.

I think the refusal can be very straight forward just by saying it would not be in your, my, our best interests to continue this professional relationship.

I find this to be sooooo true, Erin !

I have moved to a different part of the world about a year ago and needed some direction for my life. The information I got from 2 readings at the same psychic only reflected my confusion.

Taking the bits and pieces that rang true now carry me forward, but only after I realized that I was giving someone else too much power over my life.

Thanks for confirming all this, it reinforces my dedication to go my own way.

Hello Erin, thanks for the article. Just wanted to give some feedback on a reading I had with you and ask a question about psychic future predictions.

In my reading some months ago you mentioned a sister or a sister figure. We couldn't quite put it down to anything and made the assumption that I might be entering an important sister like relationship with someone. I had a suspicion of who it might be, but we didn't really get a chance to talk properly and I barely knew her. Nothing has progressed on the topic since.
I'm curious as to whether my guides and higher self would pursue setting this up or not, if the opportunity was missed for example. Or would that be the end of it?

Thanks

[Erin Pavlina]

If it was meant to be, your guides will work on setting that up again. Or there was something you were meant to learn from being with her and if you can't be with her now than they will find another way for you to learn the lesson.

the story with the bag boy really made me laugh (even though it probably wasnt that funny at the time)

[Erin Pavlina]

Yeah the bag boy was a piece of work.

Thanks for posting that up Erin! That is exactly what used to happen to me before I came on here. I've had one psychic that said I am better off not trusting my guides at all, so I've met some psychics that weren't really that good for me to listen to (in retrospect, I shouldn't have even talked to these "psychics" in the first place). Thanksfully, I learned what you posted before you posted it, but that post really did drive it home for me.

[Erin Pavlina]

Oh good I'm glad it helped.

I get a lot of emails from people who say something like, "A psychic told me I would win the lottery. But it hasn't happened yet. She told me I needed to send her $20 a week so she could keep my luck good."

Or

"A psychic told me there was treasure buried in my backyard, but she didn't tell me where so we've been digging for the past month and haven't found it yet. Can you please tell me where to dig."

Lordy.

When people ask me how often they should come back I tell them to only come back if they are really stuck and can’t figure something out on their own, or if something in their situation has changed unexpectedly and they want to see how it fits into the bigger picture.

Maintain your personal power. Don't hand it to a seer.

Thank you very much Erin.

May be that accidental boy tried that psychic and arranged a dramatic visits with you.

I just want to share something still i savor. Those words you share with people are exactly said by my female friend. Three years ago, I was broken and i sat with her to discuss. She was counselor, but always treated me as friend. She never said that i have to talk with her regularly to get rid of problems. I will act and she will support. Still...

She helped me to become kind man and how to embrace it. I am grateful for her friendship.

Thank you, Erin! I think such posts are extremely useful. The bag boy story reminded me of myself too

Now I want to relisten to the CD a psychic made for me with a four years forecast. One year has gone by now...it'll be fun to see all the stuff she got right (quite a few if memory serves well) and re-listen to the predictions for the oncoming year.

See, that's how much "power" I gave it...listened to it once or twice then stored it away for over a year... this article just reminded me the CD is still sitting around.

She also read for my mother but boy oh boy my mum gives it so much power. So many times she tells me about the reading and things that are happening at the exact right time predicted. Helloooooo ma! they don't know about earthly timing up there.
Some of the stuff she had for me were off a couple of months. Or she goes "Oh I guess this one is not the one THE PSYCHIC SAID his name started with the letter such".
