a bit of a late post today but i’ve been exceedingly busy working on some important stuff on the side and that’s taken up most of my time. things are going pretty good currently and are generally productive.

    That seems illegal if it wasn’t an upfront price. I’m not 100% on European law though.

      It depends on the “deal/package” you get. I once went for a “don’t pay for the first session until after the second one” deal.

      The first one went so-so… but the therapist came highly recommended, so decided to go for a second one (which would still only be 120€, not 700€). That one didn’t go well, at all, pretty much left out fuming. Coincidentally, it ended “after hours”, so the receptionist was already gone, and I didn’t notice I hadn’t paid until already getting on the street. They also forgot to take down my payment details the first time, and I was in no hurry to fix that mistake… so that worked out itself.

      But this kind of deals, seem to be legal, even though they feel like “bait and switch”.
