ive seen adverts for this on fb. they claim to be able to cure anxiety in young people. im suspicious - and nowhere does it tell you the cost. however im fairly desperate since my 16 year old is very disabled by anxiety. thanks

I'm really disappointed. Sad
I just tried to name change to FlappyEars but it's not available. Grin

Mibb2 · 18/06/2021 17:08

Oh no, someone must have already taken the name?!

Mibb2 · 18/06/2021 17:11

The post has updated on Facebook. Do you think it's referring to this thread or is there another thread elsewhere?

Just checked, it was used in 2017/2018.
That's the trouble with the name change facility I guess.

Mibb2 · 18/06/2021 17:12

I don't think this can be real?

I wondered what congruent means in counselling as I only know it wrt maths, so I looked it up:

Being congruent is to be in touch with your innermost experiences and thoughts and to genuinely be honest about them, to yourself as well as the client. It requires the therapist to stay connected at all times, during the counseling process with the client and the impending space. It is, to share a consistent thought or feeling.

There’s a brilliant comment posted in response to their ‘flappy ears’ post (in which I personally think Sam comes across as ‘unhinged’ as a person who PMd me said she knows her and she is!). I’ve screen shot it as no doubt it’ll disappear in a shot...!

Mibb2 I certainly think it’s related to this thread; maybe flappy ears is what Sam is referring to me as. I spent a while searching other forums for a thread about YCFF to no avail... if there is another thread somewhere in this universe I’d dearly love to find it!!!

I implore you to seek high and low you wonderful ladies as I’d love to connect this thread with it!

Btw - Sams terrible grammar is really getting to me. I know mines not perfect but ‘perspective’ should be ‘prospective’... Confused

"We do not try and be clever and funny hiding behind juvenile names. We are VERY serious, congruent and determined. Our work is unrivalled and miraculous."
Miraculous Hmm Is it supernatural and magical then? No wonder then that the process can't be explained if it's miraculous. You probably have to believe.

On a different note, The woman in this videos, why is wearing a satrapy tank top when engaging with her clients online? It looks quite unprofessional and unboundaries.

WilderBeth · 18/06/2021 18:36

Why is she wearing a scrappy flimsy vest top?

WilderBeth · 18/06/2021 18:39

Dodgy, dodgy keyboard. Confused Let me try again:

On a different note, the woman in the videos, why is she wearing a flimsy vest top when engaging with her clients online? It looks quite unprofessional and unboundaried.

Mibb2 · 18/06/2021 18:59

Flappy ears maybe is implying that someone on this thread is reading the FB post ie "ears flapping" / listening in on something they shouldn't be? Or maybe I've completely misunderstood, I never understand this stuff Confused.

dappledsunshine · 18/06/2021 19:08

Flappy ears is such a random insult 😆

TeenMinusTests · 18/06/2021 19:09

It makes me think of Dumbo.

dappledsunshine · 18/06/2021 19:18

Oh actually I think it's referencing someone who has been posting reviews under that user name 🤦‍♀️

Either way this is just an extension of the general "oddness" of it all.....

TeenMinusTests · 18/06/2021 19:27

I assumed she was making fun of MN user names in quite an amusing way.

Psuedoshoes · 18/06/2021 20:13

Why's she always flinging around legal threats? I saw on some now deleted TP posts she'd said the same thing. Would love to be a fly on her solicitor's wall when they receive her instruction to take action against 'flappy ears' Grin

Comfysofa78 · 18/06/2021 20:48

Forgot to mention earlier, on our call I was asked a lot of prying financial questions. I was also asked if I had any other plan. ‘Do you think you can do this by yourself’ and ‘you’ve tried so many things, what other plans do you have?’

GoodButNaughty · 18/06/2021 21:15

@Comfysofa78 - omg! Although nothing really surprises me now about Sam Robins; particularly given some of the stuff I have been PMd...

This is just SO unscrupulous...

DoubleTweenQueen · 18/06/2021 21:18

@Comfysofa78 It must have put you in a really difficult place Sad Did you just get a gut feeling not to go ahead?

Comfysofa78 · 18/06/2021 21:28

With me, the more pressured I feel I do back off a little. If I had money in the bank I think I may have agreed due to emotions and desperation to get something to fix the situation quickly. Having to have time to ‘sort out the money’ gave us time to think and reflect, that’s when you start to notice more things that don’t add up. I don’t feel guilty at all, especially after finding this post. I would never risk further failed attempt at things and the massive negative effects that has on her mood each time.

SwanShaped · 18/06/2021 22:56

I hadn’t thought about it from that point of view comfy. If something is supposed to be guaranteed, and then it doesn’t work, it could make the teenager feel even worse! I’d thought about feeling worse from other points of view, eg having bad or damaging therapy. But not thinking about how this ‘failing’ would feel.

Psuedoshoes · 18/06/2021 23:28

On an of course completely separate note, does anyone here automatically shorten somebody's name who you are completely unfamiliar with? Random example - if somebody's name was 'Samantha', would you automatically shorten their name and refer to them as 'Sam', despite not being invited to do so...?
