I will tell you why reputable psychics are coming to dread giving love readings - and why some are now even refusing to do them. It is because the chance of becoming the focal point of a customer's bitter disappointment, or even rage, is extremely high. Of course, the so-called readers who couldn't give two hoots and who make a good living from telling people (especially women) what they want to hear, aren't too worried. They don't give a damn anyway, but, as they are spinning a fairy story, the odds of them receiving backlash are low.
However, even though I am a seasoned intuitive and psychic consultant with 29 years experience under my belt, and even though I have learned how to handle the more difficult clients, I am still reeling from what happened last week. I'd forgotten how nasty things can get because it hasn't happened for so long. At least, not to my face.
The gist of it is that a female I will call X had a love interest consultation with me 21 months ago. I didn't hear a peep from her and I'd forgotten she even existed. Apparently, though, she hadn't forgotten about me and was, I learned, still bearing a grudge. I'm not sure why - from what I have been told, I wasn't wrong in what I'd said, and the love interest still isn't interested in a relationship with her. I'm not going to go into detail here, but, to cut a long story short, it ended up involving three different customers, one of whom I will call Y, who recently had a major fall-out with X - and X, who was poking her nose into the third party's recent consultation and discussing it critically with Y (who doesn't actually know the third party), with my name being thrown around as someone who is a 'fraud' (though that word was later changed to fake). The only reason that I knew about any of this was because Y informed me, via social media.
At first, I wasn't concerned. I'm thick-skinned enough now to weather insults. However, as I came to understand what had actually occurred, I became absolutely furious. I had been informed that the third party and X were both calling me a fraud, and it was that that disappointed me. Why would the third party do that? I'd agonised over her recent consultation, because of the nature of it. I'd even contemplated refunding her payment and refusing to do it - but I thought that maybe I could help her. That was probably a mistake and now I wish that I had listened to my initial instinct. I actually contacted her and asked her if all of this was true - and she absolutely denied that it was. She said that she'd shared the consultation with X, but that she herself hadn't been at all unhappy with it. She also said that she hoped that her friend wasn't putting words in her mouth… which means that someone was lying.
And then I was sent screenshots of text messages, via social media, as proof of what X had been saying - and that's when the anger really kicked in! Not at the allegations (including one stating that Leanne is 'invalidating' - meaning that I won't support and encourage unhealthy and obsessive behaviour). No - what I was pretty p****d about was that the third party's consultation was being dissected and criticised by someone whose business it certainly wasn't, with someone who was a complete stranger to the third party. It was being used as a weapon - and, believe me, the subject matter was not frivolous or inconsequential. And I was also p****d to have been involved in this nasty, toxic mess in the first place - especially as it was my partner's birthday and I was taking a day off. We'd been having a lovely day and I was actually cooking dinner when all of this started. You might say, "Well, you should have just ignored it." Believe me, there is plenty that I do ignore. But what really, really underpinned all of this for me was the reminder that you can't trust those whose energy field you engage with. They can say nothing whatsoever to you, but plenty behind your back. Okay, they pay for the service, but no amount of money is worth this kind of garbage - this darkness. Of course, I can absolutely trust a lot of my customers, and I know that. But, let's face it, one dollop of major hostility can have a very negative impact on us. I thought about past business problems and realised that virtually all of them involved women and their love-life consultations, and people who are habitual reactors, rather than responders (the two are not the same thing).
I admit to falling into a bit of a slump and have been trying to regain some belief that all of the years I have spent in this work have counted for something, other than being expected to tell reactive women what they want to hear about their love lives. Let's face it, that was what was at the bottom of all of this. That was the catalyst. Is that all my skills are worth, at the end of the day? My research on the subject revealed that this is a problem that is increasing, leading, as I said earlier, to readers either quitting or refusing to give love readings. Leaving the con artists and liars to spread their muck and reap in the money. Good luck with that, paying public, is what I say. The internet has made it easy for people to behave like entitled monsters, flinging the equivalent of handfuls of s**t, whilst they hide away behind technology. But here's the bottom line: If you are the kind of person who conducts yourself like this, who on earth wants to be in a relationship with you? If you are this emotionally immature, and this keen to create and be involved in conflict, you are probably going to be single for a long time. Or, at the very least, you'll end up in a miserable and dysfunctional relationship. And believe me… it won't be the psychic's fault.
I'll get beyond this - I hope. It's funny how we can weather huge storms… but fall down when someone throws their own c**p at us because they can't stand the smell of it. I think that it is being blind-sided that probably knocks the wind out of us. This one just crept in through the back door and caught me unawares. I'm always a bit mentally tired at this time of year, so maybe less resilient than usual - though, of course, I continue to give 100% to my customers. However, here's a warning: The crazies (and I make no apology for using that term) had better watch out because I've been reminded about just how destructive they can be - and why I developed a reputation as someone who won't play ball with that kind of attitude and behaviour. I became a bit complacent… but I'm back on guard duty!
