My 2 cts: In a way, it's talking about absent persons behind their back. As enabling, helpful and entertaining as this can be. Asking about a third person's thoughts and feelings is far easier than reflecting about one's own thoughts and feelings. So reflecting about another person's thoughts and feelings may give some sort of orientation.
"If X loves me, I would not feel or think myself stupid to be in love with him. But if X does not love me, I must be really silly to be in love. Oh, I don't wish to be silly. X looked at me differently today. Maybe he loves me today? If he loves me, I'd feel so much better about myself."
The sitter get a dozens of readings to make them feel good about themselves, wondering about just how deeply the love X feels which is described by some cards. Or they feel bad because a different reader reads their cards differently and does not come to a positive conclusion.
From a different perspective, expressing feelings and thoughts can have a healing effect. Talking about an absent friend may feel as good as the real thing. Helpful when the person is unavailable for various reasons, and the sitter needs to finish the relationship on their own.
Talking about a past happiness brings back good memories, planning a brighter future helps to survive a bleak present. Getting stuck in readings is a way of procrastination.
