Violet seemed very nice in the beginning of our conversation. She asked me questions and I answered. She tapped into a few things that she was hearing from me and explained how she could help me and expressed what issues she felt I had in my relationships. I do admit that some of what she said made sense, however, once she told me what she charged for her service, I realized it just was not an amount I could handle at the moment. She did begin to let me know she could make it slightly more affordable, but I ended up just letting her know it was an amount I simply was not comfortable spending in my current situation. I even suggested that I would need to come back to her when my financial situation was more in order, even though I knew the discounted price would no longer be available.
This is when things took a turn for the worse. She began attempting to make me feel bad for not trusting her and using my lack of trust of her as the reason why my relationships are always going downhill. When I agreed that yes, she was correct that some of what she said in regards to me did seem true or very possible, but that there were other things she said that did not quite resonate with me. I simply was not convinced that she truly understood me enough for me to just hand over hundreds, let alone thousands of dollars to her and it just wasn't a realistic venture for me right now.
Now, I am in total agreement that if you limit your beliefs in what you are capable of, you limit your life. I am not disputing that! But, how she continued to handle the conversation from this point is just inexcusable!
She insisted that it was certainly up to me and that she didn't want to argue the point, yet she slowly started belittling me, telling me that she doesn't understand how I can not see spending that kind of money on my love life as realistic, yet she felt that other decisions I had made in my life were completely unrealistic. And even though I agreed with her, she actually got even more angry with me and continued with the guilt trip that obviously I was not serious about finding true love and happiness.
Realizing the conversation was going nowhere and actually downhill fast, I apologized to her, saying that I was sorry to have wasted her time and that I would not have if I had any idea of the amount it was going to cost. She expressed that it was ok and it was just simply her job to try to help, yet in the same breath, continued to try to insist that she knew I could come up with the money somehow if I really wanted to.
Getting very tired, I eventually thanked her for her time again and her knowledge, but insisted that I just didn't want to have that kind of financial responsibility and I just wasn't convinced that the program was for me since she was using certain sales tactics on me that I was well aware of. Then she used the "f" word, telling me that she doesn't give a "f" what I do, she's just trying to help me. I still remained calm, but very surprised at how she was responding and still attempted to let her know that it was nothing against her and I did not mean to offend her. She continued on and even used the "s" word before I finally told her thanks, but no thanks.
My thing is, if she would have calmly said that I could certainly comeback at a later date, but at the regular price and left it at that, I may have actually gone back to her later! But because she was so pushy and got straight up vulgar and rude, I will never deal with her again. I have been in sales and customer service all of my life and that was one of the most unprofessional displays I have come across in a long time.
I gave her 2 stars since she did seem to pinpoint a few issues from my past. read more
