seminar questions...



Recommended Posts

hi again! my seminar is this coming saturday and im extremely nervous...my main concern is "where there be a lot of people there"? i have anxiety issues and im not good in large crowds, i get severe panic attacks...also are people allowed to bring someone with them? ive already discussed my issue with the person who confirmed my seminar date...my grandma has alzeimers and i take care of her so she needs to come with me...but i dont wanna be the only one who brings someone, i will feel dumb...thanks to everyone who can help me get a better understanding of what the seminar will be like...oh and also, do they make you stand up and talk in front of everyone?

thanks again, beth:redface:

The Seminar I went to I took my 17yr old daughter with me & there was people who brought LITTLE kids there. There was a decent amount of people @ the one I was @ but not extremely crowed.

I went to a couple of seminars, and while they weren't standing room only or crowded, the rooms were full. A lot of people brought someone with them. The only people who talked were those that had questions.

You are more than welcome to bring people with you - most do.

No talking unless you want to - it's mainly listening.

If you don't like crowds sit near the exit - if it gets to stressfull go in the hall for a couple minutes and take a breather.

You'll be ok - it's not as stressfull as I had thought it would be.

I attended two seminars--I didn't feel like the first practice would be a good fit for me.

My SO went to the first seminar with me, and I think that every other person there had at least one supporter. The second seminar conflicted with my guy's schedule, so I went alone and I was the only one there, which really shocked me. I was actually worried that I'd be the only person there who didn't have someone with him/her!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
