Any reader who tells someone that their life is gonna be miserable is just wrong. Readings should be all about empowerment and yes - giving people bad news if needs be, but also empowering and inspiring them to move forwards in life. Its already been mentioned in Leanne's thread that she can be miserable and to take with a pinch of salt her readings, because she can be doomy. It's easy for me to say, but try to put to the back of your mind what she said as you can change your pathway at any time. Nothing's set in stone.
Tigerlily you can always pm me if you ever need someone to talk to, I can understand why you'd be feeling anxious and low but I got given a really horrendous depressing reading once that made me feel low for weeks and I knew deep down that what she said wasn't true.

I'm seeing a pattern on here of people being told something negative and because they can't handle it, they come on here and ask if that reader was accurate anyway as a comfort boost. Not everything is going to be smooth sailing, especially relationships. Life is tough, and if ex comes back, there will sometimes be areas that you both need to work on together and learn from. That's life.

--- Quote from: sawthelight on October 16, 2018, 01:35:30 PM ---I agree!  I had a reading I posted about on purple ocean that disturbed me even though I know she was full of crap now (I've even seen her have feedback removed and several people calling her a scam)...BUT it still stuck in my head and made me feel bad.  that was a big reason I stopped getting readings all together, why would you want to hear that things are going to be shit for you for the next year, or someone is going to cheat.  They don't know this stuff anyway and deep down even if you know this, it puts you in a bad mindset.  Not all readers do this, some have broken bad news gently to me and in a way that didn't make me feel awful.

But for the ones that do these scare tactics, I feel it's really sick way to make a living but karma will get them in the end. Reminds me of those fake psychics that tell you that you have a curse on you and they need money to remove it.  SMH.

I totally agree...what is the use in hearing predictions about how something will go wrong? They don't really know anyway.

They are just as bad as the ones who ask for money to remove curses...worse, in a way, because they don't offer any solutions to escape your "fate." They just want to keep you hooked on calling. At least removing a curse has an endpoint, although they will try to prolong it as long as possible to get more money. The readers who just use scare tactics don't even offer a light at the end of the tunnel. People who would never fall for the more obvious scams like curse removal, can still be vulnerable to manipulation if their worst fears.

I was tempted to try Leanne a while back, glad I didn't.  Sounds almost like she can't separate her own biases or resentment from her readings.

Yeah, she definitely uses bias in readings. Like BTStalling said and others, it's best to get general with her. Descriptions of people and personalities accurate, accurate on the past/present. That's another point I want to add - sometimes a reader is negative because they're using opinions instead of their intuition on your situation. Most of the time if I do get bad news, I get asked alot of probing questions beforehand like when we last spoke, what we argued over etc.

i got a general with Leanne last week. Nothing but negative outcomes for the next year. Both with career, love , money and family. My ex will move on to someone else. I'll have a couple of guys that I get excited about but they will break my heart. There will be one guy that I have potential with, but he will be a total creep and make me uncomfortable. I'm going to lose money. I will keep getting in arguments with people (which isn't like me, i avoid confrontation), I will feel nothing but frustration, disappointment, and depression, and everytime i think things are going to get better.....they wont.
She also said my ex is a very warm hearted guy...but that's actually not him at all.
So obviously she got things wrong, but so far her prediction on the creepy guy turned out to be true the next day :'(

Kisha- also said no future with POI, that we will try to work it out but it won't happen and that I will also have a number of guys that break my heart through fall, winter, and spring.
