Hi please help I've got a problem:cry:
I have recently met up with another therapist who qualified end july last year. She thought it would be good if we swapped treatments. This was nice initially, but she is very intense, and thinks she does everything the best way. I have been qualified for 3 years, whilst I don't know it all I have a good client base, but I feel intimidated by her, it knocks my confidence and it is affecting our friendship.
She makes comments like 'my pedicure is so different to yours.....you are going to luvvvvvvve your pedicure with me' and 'why don't you do that, oh I don't do it like that etc, etc or 'I've only been going a short time and I've got xxxxx clients how many have you got?'
I somehow seem to be working my way through her price list, and everything she books with me she insists I have with her, and then gives me the lowdown on how good her way is etc as I she is trying to prove something to
me. Or she is only being friends to pick my brains to further her knowledge.
I know I am good at what I do and my clients like me and are long standing, but this is really getting to me. I don't have this problem with other therapist friends. I thought that in the industry we were supposed to support each other. I feel this site is warm and caring so that is why I am opening up to you all. You all support each other on here.
What should I do? Any advice would be greatly appreciated:cry:
