I have a friend who I read for , and usually its more or less the same reading. I guess its because she doesn't really accept what I tell her. I mean, she understands what I tell her, only she represses things that are uncomfortable for her, even in the face of things she knows to be true. I feel kind of frustrated with her, especially because she asks for readings again and again. What should I do? I just don't feel like we're getting anywhere with the readings.

Just tell her that you need a break from reading for her. Don't read for her for a while & let her think about what you have told her. When you don't read for her, she mabee will start to go over things in the past you have told her. Just an idea.

It seems to me that the way you have stated the situation in your post explains your feelings very well -- it is compassionate toward your friend, and at the same time acknowledges your frustration as a reader. If you speak with her frankly and use a lot of "I" statements (I feel, I think, etc.), rather than "you" statements that can seem accusatory, it will probably clear the air and benefit your relationship -- and it might be the spur needed to move things along, so that readings can become more useful.
