Summary of Reviews:
Counseling Experience
Author Eva Lucassie shares her negative experience with Rosalind, a Muppet who practices reflective counseling by repeating back what the client says. This method did not work well for Eva as she felt it was unhelpful in addressing her issues, especially when her partner would verbally attack her during sessions and Rosalind failed to intervene.
Analysis by Shontelle
Shontelle, another counselor, is criticized for basing her analysis on the word of a known liar and manipulator. Eva also recounts how Shontelle attempted to conduct an impromptu counseling session with her, which Eva declined.
Unreliable Reviews
Eva questions the reliability of the five-star reviews for the counseling service. She claims that one of the reviews is from staff and the other is from a relative of staff, suggesting that these positive reviews may not be objective or genuine.
