As with most posts, I don't think we are ever really getting the full picture. Getting a strong reaction from the forum is a risk any poster takes when there's a conflict with a therapist or other professional.

As for this thread and others by the OP, nothing has been shared that suggests the life coach is a competent professional; but then again, I think the OP posts when she's upset. Like any of us when that happens, we tend to relay only the worst version. I do know that I would expect any professional to disclose if a referral has a personal connection. That's just all kinds of wrong, and I hope the OP gets that straight with the LC.
