Hi,
I was at last nights development group (and in your Foundation group) and was shocked to at the number of clients in the group (as was our counsellor) She had explained to me that the group was a group of 10 and 5 ladies that hadn't been to group for over 2 weeks had just turned up without contacting her first!!! Maybe she did'nt have time to explain that to you?
She also explained that she would send out a txt to everyone to collate who was in each group as she was giving both the groups a choice not just the ones last night - not on a first come first served basis but so everyone got a choice of which night they would like to attend and this situation wouldn't happen again.and txt was the fastest form of communication as to call everyone would take so much time, (I understand that) maybe you wasn't aware of that also. She is also going to give everyone a memo to confirm if they missed group for 2 weeks without contact they would not be given packs or weighed because of the effect this had on the whole group.
I read so many negatives about counsellors and must say I was very supprised to read what you had written about last nights group, I can only asume you didn't have the full picture because if you had you would have explained why the group was so big, why the LL counsellor was sending out a txt not calling everyone. The scrap book pictures were great to do as it really made me think about how much I have changed in the past few months, I know unless you was in group you wouldn't understand them, but try not to become like lots of other people making judments about what you don't know! don't want to sound rude but thats what I had to put up with when I first started LL and it gets me very anoyed
I want to share my experiance of my counsellor
She always returns my calls
She always offers me a weigh in if I am having a bad week
She has weighed me before my holiday - so I went away with the weight loss fresh in my mind and the confidence to stick to LL when away
Day or night I can contact her
She listens
If she wasn't like she was, empathic and understanding I would have quit a long time ago
Her foundation group was life changing for me!
Yes last night group was to big and to busy but you should really look at the bigger picture! what went before last nights class! what ever you choose to do Carol I hope you continue to do well you look great!!
