[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the new video on Instagram…about the new Me Course…her redness doesn’t look like blood pressure or meds so much as just looks like she’s cried a lot lately, then made best effort to cover it up with makeup, but still might burst into tears at any minute. Interesting to have her look so in pain while selling advice on getting past pain.

Also seems unprofessional (of Carissa) for her current therapist to be doing a work project alongside a patient…using your client to promote yourself…even if it was Jen’s idea…[/quote]

Big conflict of interest there, really. I don't think any truly ethical *therapist would get involved with a business venture with a client. Maybe her therapist didn't see it as a business venture, but that doesn't speak super well of her professionalism. The problem isn't even 'is she promoting herself,' the problem is that as soon as you entangle yourself with a client you lose a bit of the ability to speak honest, hard truths to your client. That's not a good thing. Even if Jen is no longer a client (which is not clear from the post...it seems she may still consider this woman 'her' therapist) it would generally be frowned upon professionally.

I would also suspect that any therapist truly worth it would probably NOT advise someone barely on the edge of healing from something like that to start offering courses to other people on healing from pain. I think that's the thing that gets me the most about this particular course. Barely 2 years out she is going to tell everyone how to work through their pain? Nope. Give me the person who is far enough on the other side of it to have not only healed, but had time to assess their healing, to look back and see where they would have done something differently, where they rushed the process (cough *tylermerrit* cough), where they still had blind spots, etc. I think it takes an incredible lack of self-awareness to think that you can teach other people how to heal when you are still in the midst of it yourself.[/quote]
