Finding a Tarot Reader

I am a reader and based on what my clients have told me about their experiences with other readers I have a lot of suggestions for you--what to look for and what to avoid. I know there are a lot of wonderful readers out there and there are a lot of awful readers who tell people terrible things just to scare the person into asking tons of questions. On my web-site, www.tarotbylillian.com I have a section called how to choose a tarot reader. Click on that link and it lists a bunch of things I've thought about based directly on what I've heard from my clients and through my own experience as well. I've heard it all and am amazed at the things I hear--go bury $900 in a box under a tree for one night and the next day mail it to me was the worst. My poor client almost did send the money to this person. Some of us really do want to help our clients.
Truly, Lillian

Hi Lillian, what a pretty site.
thanks for your reply. That's what I also feel like, that I'm doing repair work when people feel horrible after some crazy person tells them awful and untrue stuff. Can you imagine the terrible karma that reader is bringing upon his or her self? That kind of stuff can really impact people in lasting ways. I think I'm a pretty conservative reader compared to most and always try to get people to set themselves as the foundation rather than feeling that their happiness depends on another person. I answer my client's questions but try to keep them focussed on their own ground.
You mentioned in your profile that you're a therapist (my husband is also). Have you ever read any stuff by I. Yalom? I think he's wonderful. He's written a novel "When Nietzsche Wept" and also a book with a lofty title "Existential Psychotherapy" that is actually pretty accessible for someone even without a psychology degree.
Nice chatting with you:).

You know, I've never even HEARD of I. Yalom. Have I been under a rock, or what? Will definitely check it out. Thank you! What type of therapy does your husband do, if you don't mind my asking? I am currently working in the behavioral field, with autistic children.
My husband works with people who have pain problems, mostly people with spinal cord injuries. He teaches his patients how to use meditation, biofeedback, and hypnosis to help them lessen their pain and starts sessions and groups by showing them a video with Tibetan monks walking on coals and not feeling the pain! I guess you'd call his area mind/body medicine. When we had our baby I told the doctors not to listen to him because I was open to any pain medicine I could be given! I bet your field is a tough one to work in. I think I'd get so emotionally involved I wouldn't know how to stop.
Actually, I find my field relaxing. It's something like a meditation, because I have to completely forget about me, and give my all physically, emotionally, and mentally. So I just love it. And yes, I get emotionally involved, in that I love my client. But it's love without ownership, and I am always aware that I will need to let go at some point.
Hugs!
