We've been talking quite a bit on another thread http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=135835&page=1&pp=50 about "opening up a can of worms" for a querent in a reading and then having no way to help them. Some of the issues that came up were:
Overestimating your skills, especially to do therapy/ counselling because you read tarot - perhaps "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing" sometimes applies here
yet
Exploring psychological ideas (like Jung's) with reference to Tarot and using them to inform your tarot practice.
Here's a link Teheuti found http://www.blogcatalog.com/blog/tarot-texas/1848741248b9386e062b89a0a5dd15c3 by someone who doesn't appear to know what they are talking about, for example.
So, I was wondering. Under what conditions would you refuse someone a reading because you thought they needed more than you could give them? Have you done this?
and
Under what conditions would you refer someone to another person, because you felt you couldn't help? Have you done this?
I suppose it is a question of how you keep yourself and your querents safe, in the psychological sense.
