You ladies definitely have a valid point. I completely wasn't even thinking of the lack of standards that readers have. Anyone could claim to be a reader and for all you know, googling tarot card definitions during the reading lol. Very good points. I believe there should be a standard. CP claims they test their psychics prior to hiring them. I don't believe that because the majority on there don't have any psychic gifts. They're just good pretend psychologists that utilize emotional branding techniques. There are a handful that have real gifts. Just hard to find I guess.

I had a reading on CP and the reader gave me and other readers the same reading, so they can't be tested that special, lol. Most readers are just good at psychology and use that in their readings along with personal experiences, guesswork etc. Rarely can readers see the future. And even so, some readers could really work for me, but they didn't for you and vice versa.

Standards are important not just in the sense of regulating things, but so customers now what to expect. Some of the better readers do try to explain on their profile or website what it is they do. Most readers make some sorts of claims about their abilities. Either you know what their claims are ahead of time, or they start making claims in the middle of a reading. It's like anything else, if they can't live up to their claims then it should be considered false advertising. There are regulations in other types of business that prohibit certain types of claims, or hold people liable for making claims they can't live up to. I see no reason why the same principle shouldn't be applied to psychics.

When people go into readings with no clear idea of what to expect, it leaves them that much more open to manipulation. We are all suggestible, it is human nature and how the mind works. Making a choice under duress or coercion does not have the same legal bearing as a choice made freely in sound mind.

Yes (a bit extreme here), but you wouldn't expect to go to a psychologist/psychiatrist who lies about their qualifications. That's illegal and can be seen as actually quite dangerous for obvious reasons. What difference does it make for you or I to make a Keen account and say how we are empaths, mediums, psychics etc? Any reader who has "fairy" or the like in their name, I'm sorry but I'm not interested.
