Removed the paywall for you.
If you have 3 hours to kill and want to watch all 34 of her TikTok videos……it is a wild ride!
I have had a few patients ask if I have seen this story and yes, I have. I am not going to make any determinations about this woman but it really is a story you should read. It is a crazy story!!!
She talks like a very troubled woman. Since we are only hearing one side of the story it’s plausible she’s dreamed it up. The doctor may have been rebuffing/redirecting her protestations, ended the professional relationship, or maybe she has dreamed up the whole thing. So many people her age are mentally unstable, lonely, and for attention they rely on social media and an AI app for “human” interactions. I’ve read about this recently where folks have lost a sense of reality from spending so much time on social media and making AI a “friend” and “confidant”. Just look at the fact this gal claims to be a yoga instructor at a facility yet, she is not even an actual employee.
It’s a sad state of affairs these days for many folks. I feel sorry for them all. Who they need in their lives is God Almighty. He fills voids like no other and in His care we receive an overabundance of love and mercy.
That article was just sad. Random observations follow: I noticed she takes no responsibility for anything. How could this person be a “life coach”? Is it a case of “those who can’t, teach”? (and those who can’t teach, teach gym. Thank you Woody Allen) What on earth is a “human design reading”? On second thought, it is probably better that I don’t know. I pity the therapist. I wonder at what point he realized that this person will ruin his life if she can. How many lives has she cannonballed through?
