DISCLAIMER
Ken Reads should not be considered a substitute for professional counseling or therapy. It serves as a platform for validation, psychoeducation, and entertainment. Ken's approach to letter readings differs from traditional counselling sessions.
​In his capacity as an Australian counselor, Ken will not provide advice or offer diagnoses.
While he may suggest potential issues, he cannot provide official diagnoses. Whilst attachment styles are not formal diagnoses, Ken can share his opinion on whether a particular attachment style seems evident based on the information in the letter. ​
Letters submitted should be between 500 - 2,000 words, with a +/- 10% margin. If a letter falls outside of these parameters, Ken reserves the right to decline reading it and will issue a refund to the letter sender. ​
Ken Reads will accept submissions based on availability.

"Hi Ken, just wanted to say thank you to both Amy and yourself. Not only do I feel validated, but I have such a better understanding of the relationship. I really appreciate how both of you handled my letter with empathy, kindness, and of course your expertise. I think it will be of help to so many others too."
"This podcast has been the most helpful and validating tool in understanding the dynamics and behaviors that I have experienced in my recent relationship. I just wanted to share my appreciation for what you are doing. It's one thing to learn and understand attachment theory but it's even more insightful to hear others stories and see how they play out in actual situations. Thank you so much!"
"My sincerest gratitude for reading, expressing your thoughts and having it all translate into me feeling seen and understood. Can't thank you enough."
"Dear Ken, Sorry it took me while to respond to your letter reading.. I was speechless and it was so cathartic… hearing from a third person, that I am not crazy lol. I listened to your post for 2 weeks none stop…
Especially the moment you said "Fuck Him”. I died laughing out loud every time."
"I’m listening on Instagram. Not sure where I can rate your podcast/ but want you to know they are all 10/10. I dated a dismissive avoidant and was abruptly dumped via email. Listening to you lets me know I’m not the only one. Listening to you reassures me that my long recovery is warranted. You are the best of the podcasters on relationships."
"Dear Ken, thank you so much for reading my letter. As I mentioned at the beginning of my letter, your account was one of the factors helping me to understand the story and heal. To hear you and Amy commenting on this mess was on one hand very amusing on another hand gave me again the zoom-out perspective. I have a lot to think about before I will go back to dating but I know very well I am well-equipped to be more conscious. What I did not mentioned in my letter (previous version was too long), my ex said in the last conversation, in the context of covert narccissist: oh. We are probably very similar in that. In this moment I thought: now you're talking openly. For one second. Now I feel: he can keep my stuff, I do not need it. I do not need him in my life. Did I love him? Yes. Do i still have a lot of love and sympathy for him? Absolutely. Actually I even feel pity for him. But he is not a safe person to be with."
"As usual Ken' s empathetic and validating voice is a hug for us all. THANK YOU"
"I have submitted a letter to 'Ken Reads'. There is a lot of evidence to support the mental health benefits of expressive writing and I think it can be even more powerful to have the writing witnessed, so I really appreciate the 'Ken Reads' segments and I think it's a powerful contribution to collective healing."
"I found Ken Reid on Facebook book and this guy has helped massively with my breakup from a avoidant. His videos and now a podcast will help anyone struggling with coming to terms and moving on . When ever I need a top up on moving on or feel low I head back to Ken Reid and it's prepared me for facing relationships in the future 😊."
"Thank God for KEN! This is a grounded , sensible and so the truth of dealing with a avoidant. He doesn't bullshit you about get your ex back rubbish that you see out there . I've learnt so much from this fantastic podcast."
"Ken is the best coach you can find online on the subject of attachment styles! I absolutely adore him and could listen to him all day and still be amazed by the new information I seem to find out in every single episode. Really helped me put the pieces together regarding my anxious-avoidant relationship and painful breakups we’ve been through time and again. A big thank you to Ken for sharing all of these precious information with all of us!"
