3 weeks ago I decided to do In-home personal training and while I waited to build my client base I continued to search for part time personal training work. I advertise on Craigslist and I look at job offerings on Craigslist also. I answered an ad for a job, go on the interview thinking it would be an independent personal training job, but got pitched to be part of their beta test to turn their company into a franchise. It sounds great and I had them pitch it to my husband because of my anxiety, paranoid thinking, and other issues. He wants to see the contract first.

This first round test would be a year contract, $500 a month franchise fee and then $7 for each session I do. They train me on marketing, closing sales contracts, they supply flyers, business cards, marketing material with the branded name, legal support....

My issues is I go into severe panic at the thought of that kind of commitment. I get overwhelmed easily, I have a strong inner critic. I am terrified of doing this and then I fall into a depression and screw it up and can't pay the fees. I also,do not want to lose out on a opportunity and then here about this company in the news 5 years from now.

This decision is killing me. I feel frozen.

Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
