So one of the women I've been doing readings for attacked me yesterday, or at least threatened that she would. I had predicted that her boyfriend would propose to her, and a day later he did and then she told me about it. She was so excited about the prediction and the proposal I felt like I had done something very good. She had talked with me at a reading before about confedentiality, and at the time she was breaking up with this boyfriend. I counseled her on how it wasn't over and gave her a little bit to go on, and to look forward to. But after the proposal, I was so excited I told everyone in town about it. Everyone seemed to already know that he proposed, and some even knew about the prediction. People were asking me for readings left and right, but I guess somewhere along the lines I told one of her ex-boyfriends about it. She caught me downtown sitting next to him and went stir crazy. Cursing, and threatening me. She made a point to let me know that our friendship was over.. But I'm not even sure what a friendship is anymore. It didn't really bother me, but I've been thinking about the movie Minority Report. I just hope I haven't ruined her wedding.

Never talk about a reading with others. If she had a friend with her by her choice that's OK. If you taped the reading and she chose to share it, that's fine too.
The longer the reading the more it becomes a counseling session. She expected you to keep quiet about what she shared. Any future clients will expect that too. I want to just say as kindly as I can, talking about her reading with others was a big, big mistake. It is like a priest telling others what you said in confession. |

For once I agree with Mota.....LOL
I learned this lesson right out of Beauty School. Whatever you say will eventually work it's way back to the person you are talking about (It's a small world). While getting their hair cut and styled, many women talk about their relationships...good, bad, indiferent. If they are on the "OUTS" with someone and tell you how bad they are, then you repeat it, you've just been set up in a way. When they make up, then YOU are the person saying the BAD things. Now YOU are the bad guy. Never repeat what someone may consider as confidential, even if they don't say it is to be kept private. PS...Waldo...Did you get the Radio Program that I'd sent?

I got the email, alright. And I'm not upset about this encounter. At least I learned what not to do, even if it was the hard way. If I ever do decide to write a book about cold reading I'm going to stress how important confedentiality is.

Rule Number 1, never every divulge another persons reading reading, it is like confession. You can only gloat abotu things that people allow you to. No Offence but in my years I have predicted stuff that would knowck the socks off most people yet I can never name names unless the client themselves talks about it.
The enemy of a reader is the ego. if your good your clients will say so. H.W
When your only reality is an illusion, then illusion is reality.

Tangentally related factoid: In New Orleans, legend has it that voodoo queen Marie LaVeau derived much of her "power" from the fact that she was a hairdresser by day, and therefore knew all about everyone's private life.
Knowledge is power, so don't abuse it...
Every problem contains the seeds of its own solution. Unfortunately every problem also contains the seeds of an infinite number of non-solutions, so that first part really isn't super helpful.
