I dunno. After years and years of reading, I just get on with it. I say, "this is what I see". Point finale. And I then proceed to say what I see, no cushions or exclusion clauses. I don't try to soften blows very much, beyond human gentleness and compassion, and I don't use catch-phrases to make myself safe.
I also no longer charge for readings, though!
they get what they get. And I let them know that before I begin.
ETA I have also said: "This makes me think" or "this makes me feel". Those might be weasels according to your standards (but not mine). Because if it makes me feel or think that, it makes me feel or think that. I am not trying to get out of anything. I'm just explaining my process, as far as I am concerned.
