Don't be embarrassed about crying. I know I would have been crying too.
He doesn't know all that you have accomplished. You should give yourself more credit! You are doing a great job!0 -
I missed this thread before, but I agree with those who've stated that he was obviously trying to use it as a sales tactic, to make you "see" why you "need" him. :grumble:
As a trainer, I'm appalled *for you* at the thought of that type of work ethic. I'm not sure where he received his training, but the training that I received was based solely on helping a person to become self sufficient, to the point where they DON'T need you anymore. Not treating them as a mechanic would, and trying to find more and more things wrong, so that they can continue to come back/depend on you. (no offense to mechanics in the group, lol)
The point is to help people, not tear them down. That's why we spend so much time in this group, helping people to find the way that works for THEM, not doing it OUR way.
When a person becomes self sufficient, they can have success for a lifetime, not just a quick fix that they have to keep coming back to you for (or as I like to say that "crack" in which you are the "dealer" who keeps enticing them to seek that first original "high" that usually doesn't come back), as many of the more "famous/celebrity" trainers do. It's just a job to them....not a passion for helping others, and that saddens me...
I hope that you have bounced back from that horrible experience, and are tackling your own future & hitting the iron w/reckless abandon :drinker:
