Haha there's always a snake oil salesmen trying to sell you a quick get well/rich/happy schemes. Sadly people fall for it, no shade to them, I've been desperate and low before myself. You'll try anything, that's why it's abhorrent that they'll take advantage of people like this.
They need their therapy license revoked. This is cult tactics. If they are in fact a therapist that is, could just be a regular basement dwelling groomer, giving "advice".
