To his surprise he found what this person was saying relatable. The things this person talked about included the symptoms he faced of stress, confusion, frustration, and anxiety. As he watched videos on this page he saw more and more videos of this religious center that focused on mental and physical well-being, and he decided to join them and find out how they could help him. The first few sessions included meditation and breathing exercises, but as the classes went on, they wanted him to drink teas and take supplements. This felt weird to him as he thought this was supposed to help him mentally but the leaders convinced him to take them as he said that his physical well being affected his mental well being and this was necessary. These supplements which could be found online for five dollars were being supplied in personalized bags for five hundred dollars! Jesse belonged to a wealthy family so he decided to go all in but his friends started to feel suspicious and worry about him. The more jesse talked about this center the more his friends realized they were scamming him, and they decided to confront him. As jesse realized that he had been scammed he left the center and joined a counseling center that helped him fix his issues.
