Some Myth Busting from a Keen Advisor

The reviews here simply don't bear that out, which is why this person has to attack the validity of the reviews on this forum to try to get it to hold water. But what's more, even the reviews on Keen itself don't bear it out, despite how flawed the feedback system is on there.
It would be much more realistic to say, SOME readers do their best, SOME do mean well, but to also acknowledge that there are some scammers and dishonest readers on Keen who are not easily weeded out by the feedback system or the fair play policies.
Furthermore it is pretty well known that some of the more dishonest readers can be very competitive, going after the more sincere and well meaning readers and try to hurt their business with negative feedback, or even drive them off of Keen.
Most readers who are genuine know that there are other readers on Keen who are not so genuine, and they will gently try to warn clients to be careful who they call. Just like those of us here who have experienced it ourselves try to warn people.

100% agree. I don't agree with the "let me help you underlings with sage advice." BS.

Hi pprincess
I just wanted to say thanks for being willing to come on this board and share insight with us. I didn't read through all the back-and-forth arguing... but am grateful for the advice and your willingness to share your perspective.

Yes I can usually tell when people are being obsessive and calling a bunch of us, and I can tell when they are seeking to be told what they want to hear and aren't really looking for guidance and real insight into their problems. I can tell when nothing I can say will actually get through to them. It is an anxious energy you get from the caller, it is obvious in the kinds of questions they ask, the way they respond to you, and in their reviews.

You mean to tell me you don’t rely solely on your psychic abilities? :o

Exactly...whether the advice is sound or not, when the underlying attitude comes off like "I know better than you" it sets off alarm bells.

This post just reminded me of another tip that might help you get better readings: SET REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS.
If you go into a reading expecting the psychic to know everything about you right off and everything about your future, you are going to be disappointed every time. Maybe before you spend money on a psychic reading, you should learn a little bit more about how psychic abilities work and what they feel like to the psychic. I’m hoping I’m getting some of that part of our experience across in my posts, but I want to make that point loud and clear: WE ARE NOT OMNISCIENT.
Even setting the actual psychic ability aside, correctly interpreting the information we receive is a whole other set of skills we have to develop, and that is where our human fallibility comes into play the most. What we see might be totally right on, but how we interpret it? Trial and error is really the only way for us to improve on that.
So to set realistic expectation, I think learning about how psychic ability works will help, paying attention to the specific area of ability the psychic advertises on their listing so you know you’re calling the right person for the answers you need, and also going into the reading knowing what you want to get out of it. Think about your question and what kind of information you want to leave the reading with before you call, and ask yourself if you are really receptive to what they have to say for better or worse. If you aren’t open to hearing them out or facing the reality of your situation, if you aren’t seeking ways to improve your own situation, or if you just feel bad and want to know it’s all going to be okay, don’t call them. You can call actual certified therapists on LivePerson, or seek out self-help topics online, like “How to release an ex,” or “How to get out of a career rut.” Don’t call unless you have a specific area of your life you are trying to work on and need some insight on how to sort it out or which steps to take next, or if someone in your life is confusing you and you need some insight on their intentions or feelings. I think that's what we're here for.
