Oh my goodness, kicking, this is horrible!! To fuel that level of delusion saddens me to my core. How this fraud can look at their own reflection or even sleep at night knowing that they are literally lying to this woman is just plain sick. What's even more sickening is that I imagine this scenario is replayed 100s of times daily. I know it's not the reader's fault that this woman won't let go at this time, I get that, but be humane and tell her to move on and suggest therapy! I really wish we were able to write other members on there. Grrrr!!!
I have spoken to a handful of the therapists on Ingenio and of course many of them specialize in psychic addiction. That being said, I have also had many of them tell me that many of their regular clients are "psychics" from Keen. One psychologist told me outright that many have no business offering advice to anyone and that many suffer from their own psychological disorders. The therapists list their credentials but I am not sure if Ingenio verifies this or not. I doubt it. But, they have been helpful to me from time to time and I have never felt mislead. One even changed her rate for me from $1.99/min to $.50/min so that her and I could talk for an hour. I was very upset at the time and it was a much needed session. If any of you are interested here is the link: http://counseling-therapy.ingenio.com/ but IMHO if you are seeking long term therapy you should find someone in your area.
Here's the thing...I believe in psychic ability. I really do. I just think that Keen and all of the other platform sites are riddled with frauds and/or marginally talented readers and most of which are very greedy. I rarely get readings anymore but when I do I choose to pay for independent readings that I have researched thoroughly. I also like having to set up an appointment and YES having to WAIT for my reading. It's calming for me and I don't have to freak out about the minutes ticking by because most of the independents are reasonable with their time. What I mean by that is if I pay for a 30 minute reading but it takes 35 or 40 minutes to get the message to me they will do so. I also don't have that anxious feeling to CALL CALL CALL every psychic in my wake after the call ends, lol! I have a dummy email that I have linked to a PayPal account so they are not able to "Google" me beforehand if any of you are concerned about that. Anyway, this works for me, may not work for everyone...I just wanted to throw an alternative out there for any of you wanting to wean yourself off of the platform sites. :)

flowers27 has been strung along for well over a year and no one has been right about her relationship question.
jamisonboys1123 has been strung along for a while. This person has been told her ex is coming back, he is her soulmate ect.
she left feedback in December that her ex proposed to his gf, of course all the readers said it will not last...we know the script.
The most recent feedback 3/6 is as follows:
3/6/2014 Jamisonboys1123 5 stars Sorry I couldn't finish funds low, thank you , you see that he made a mistake by marrying that girl you said that we a our soulmates. And he will realize that.
I was so upset when I read this!! The guy married his girlfriend! Take notice of these two examples is all I can say.

I know a keen reader personally and you wouldn't believe some of the stories I've heard from her about other readers. They have issues just like everybody else and I wouldn't call some of them based upon the what I know.
Zee:
Well in all honesty, we shouldn't believe or act as if psychics are above human or something. They have issues just like everybody else, which probably spills over onto their calls. It's one of the reasons they give out such useless advice or read into things that don't pertain to the caller.
Someone posted 'for entertainment purposes' once before and that is truly how we should look at calls and probably why I have no major rush to stop getting a reading. It is especially entertaining for my ego to hear some of the things they say to me. Nothing makes me feel as good than a huge ego boost.
It still does irritate when I look back over my notes sometimes and look at all the lies I believed and all the stuff that never, never, ever transpired. It's still my belief though that I might find a really solid reader one day.
Who knows?
Truth:
it sounds to me like this woman doesn't want to let go. i think some of us can relate to this. i know years ago anytime a reader told me i would NOT get back with my ex i wouldn't believe them. i only believed those that told me that we would. i even got the the point where i would delete and sometimes block advisors so i didn't get their mail because it would make me mad that they would tell me no and seeing their name over email would remind me of their negative prediction. luckily i've grown out of that sort of thinking, but this woman is choosing to believe in the lies/false hope. i actually wonder why she even still believes this reader when reality shows the opposite..
also, i think some of these readers think they are gifted. i'm not sure why they think they can read the future when they can't, but somewhere along the line they became delusional. so i don't think it's always malicious intent, though it is probably just as much one as it is the other.
have you ever made excuses for a reader? for good or bad? i have done this many times as well.
if a reader gives me a negative outcome i focus on the other things they said that were also wrong to try to believe the negative prediction is just wrong.
if a reader gives me a positive outcome but is missing a lot of confirming validations i try to make things fit that don't really from their reading because i want the positive outcome more.
i just think we have to take responsibility for calling, and what we chose to believe. again, i think a lot of readers are only in this for the money and/or to hurt or take advantage of people. however, we are the ones making the calls and spending the money. and i'm not saying this to be preachy or sound like it's easy to just stop. if anyone has an addiction to this it's me. unfortunately i found keen.com about 10 years ago. i could have probably bought a vacation home at the beach with the amount of money i've spent on readings. but i know it was my fault for continuing to call - especially when reality was different than the predictions from the readings.
Calypso 13:
KTH what a horrible story.
Yes Truth, I agree with you that this individual probably doesn't want to let go or is having a hard time at it and I came to believe that in my own situation, my continuous calling was prolonging my healing.
what did it for me finally was when I still dropped my guy even after readers discouraged me from doing so. I realized I was the worst person to get readings lol because I was so stubborn to do what I wanted to do anyway. A trait that has worked out for me in this instance.
