Some Myth Busting from a Keen Advisor
jas:
PPrincess thank you for sharing. This is a good conversation between you and Kate, very insightful on both parts. I have two psychics I call on a monthly basis and I deeply value their guidance...couldn't live without it. However, as Kate stated, I do call other psychics in between. I call one because she is fun to talk to, another because she is great with my animals, another one is an astrologer - so I get a mixture. I NEVER leave anything less than five stars because I realize they are trying to make a living. Unfortunately, just like you guys get abusive callers, we also get readers who are simply guessing - they have no talent. Therefore we (the callers) are forced to call several to find one good one that we can connect with, thus the "hopping".

So so true - it has taken hundreds of calls to end up with the handful I talk to now -and this forum has assisted immensely.
I've met someone who has become a very close friend through this forum. I also found the best readers by taking member's advice.
Additionally, it has helped me with the LoA and not calling so often. I really value the psychics I talk to now.
One has really changed my life for the better - she is amazing.
So yes - I am a self confessed psychic hopper - or at least I was. Now I stick with those who have been validated through time, experience....and too many $$.
It's a rare skill and I think we all appreciate the energy it takes to read someone, and sympathise with the abuse some callers must give (or their unrealistic expectations.)
I recall one psychic I consult often telling me he charges a little more because he wants to filter out callers that are time wasters or abusive (i.e. $5 a min rather than $2).
However, there is another psychic I read with on occasion on Keen who won't charge more than the minimum on principle.
He genuinely wants to help his callers, and this always comes across in the advice he gives. I enjoy my calls with him far more because of it. I never feel the need to hurry him, or the panic I feel when being charged over $5 a min.

I am going to pipe up too, as I also have "psychic hopped" while trying to find the ones that worked best for me. AND - after coming to this forum, found some that I felt worked for me. And I would try not to call any of them all the time. BUT when I would get overly anxious about my situation, confused or whatever, I too would call more than just my fav go to's. I no longer have an account on Keen, I am trying really hard not to get readings (though I have had a couple on another platform I have used over the years) and yes, I miss being able to have my go to's at the ready for me. Which is something I am working on in myself to hopefully have my situation play out the way it is meant to.
I don't think the majority of those on this site are what pprincess claimed them to be. Not saying that there isn't a few because it is clear that some are. Also, I agree, that we are responsible for our outcomes, and that we can't blame the psychics if "nothing ever happens" and they are "all scammers" and "all frauds". When we are consistently doing things to sabotage our outcomes. We are also the ones responsible for calling hundreds of psychics in a month (if we are) and spending our money on psychics, you can't blame the psychics for that. Sure there are some scammers out there, but I also think there are some very genuine and ethical readers out there as well.

YES! that's an important point...it's like no one is forcing us to psychic hop and to spend all this money. Some people might call one or two psychics and then let things play out or not play out (LOL) and then move on with their lives. It's not the psychics fault if we go from one to the next and obsess...for me, it was all about alleviating my anxiety and getting different opinions, and that was the worst part of it! I think a healthier person than myself might just have called a few and moved ahead......

I don't think it's the psychic's fault either. It is rather a consequence of platforms like Keen that offer such an easy service. Calling is like taking a painkiller at first.... it numbs emotional pain and easily becomes addictive for that reason.
For want of a better analogy, it's like gambling. Some cities have one casino. Sure a smaller percentage of people will get addicted and go there often, but most will only attend occasionally for a bit of "fun" say once a month or so, or on a special occasion.
However, other countries and cities have casinos on every street corner - as a consequence far more become addicted - it's too easily available.
I think that's my point re Keen and others..
