The lack of self awareness is outstanding.
Suggesting any questions are “harrassment” suggests classic DARVO tactics

But this is an outright lie. Anyone reading the terms and conditions can see that. It clearly states 'research and advertising.' And you only see them AFTER purchasing and can't opt out.‘Harassment’
Exactly this @littlesunflower! You’ve just articulated what I was trying to say but you’ve done a way better job than me.RE: the abuse, Jess was drinking heavily as a teenager and got herself in with the wrong crowd. Did grown men take advantage of this? Probably. Is that wrong? Yes. But Jess claims she was a victim of sex trafficking, and I think that description is wrong. She wants people to think she was kidnapped and pimped around England with no means to escape. She wasn’t.
She did what a lot of teenage girls do and some disgusting men probably took advantage of her (was it the odd 19 year old or was it a stream of 45 year old blokes? Jess wants people to picture the latter.) It’s wrong but this story is no different to what lots of women have been through, however Jess has to be different and so her story is one of pimping and rape and sex trafficking. If she told the truth about her teenage years and what she actually experienced I’m sure lots of women could offer solidarity considering many probably have been through the same. She has to stand out though, and so her story is that something outrageous happened and it was much worse for her than anyone else (and she took the opportunity during her pimping and trafficking to attend her GCSEs and get 16 B+ grades.)
@littlesunflower this is what I said but you said it better.I’ll be honest, as much as I believe she lies about a lot of things, I’m uncomfortable with us starting to attack the legitimacy of her claims of abuse suffered when she was a teenager. I think it could make others feel they wouldn’t be believed.
What I will say is, my experiences of being a teenager that developed early, and then a grown woman in this world, has been littered with men feeling they have the right to touch me, shout sexual remarks, force themselves on me and generally fail to understand the meaning of the word “no”. I think most woman would have the same experience. The sad truth is this is part of being a woman - it shouldn’t be, but this is why the feminist movement is needed. Now the difference is I haven’t made a career of talking about it or suggesting that I’m different from everyone else, that my experiences have been “worse” than yours. And that’s the issue here - not whether or not what she says about teenage abuse is true (because on the balance of probabilities it probably is) - that she invites people hero worshipping her like her experiences have been worse, her journey to success harder, and her “success” unachievable for the rest of us. And then if anyone dares to hint at the kind of thing I just said, they’re called “jealous”.
I’m so sorry you went through this. You are inspiring for coming through all of this and qualifying tooI detest what's she's doing professionally, but I'm not comfortable with this pulling apart of her past. We don't know what happened to her and some of these discussions smack of victim blaming in themselves. Getting her GCSEs doesn't disqualify her from being trafficked. I was pimped and trafficked, in the very violent stereotypical way people think of, while at university and I still eventually managed to qualify. I was later abused and trafficked again in a horribly violent relationship while working in a professional field. I've experienced the 'you couldn't have been, you managed to get an education' stuff countless times, including from professionals.
Exactly. Show the accreditation if there's been say a mistake on the CPD Service end. Reassure about the terms and conditions, reword them and put an opt out clause. Probably an hour of her time at most. I think it's her reactions more than anything else that shows how sinister it all is.What a warped view of themselves those two have. Trying to compare with Malala and Beyoncé yet the other week commenting that the Daily Mail wouldn’t pick up the story about Jess - she’s not important enough.
Also, I feel like blocking the lady raising the (legitimate) data concerns about the VF courses goes to show you what kind of person Jess really is. If that were me, I would just reply and explain if it’s not true - and make sure it’s in response to the thread, so that anyone else worried can see it. These are paying customers after all, does she not care what people think of her courses? Why the immediate blocking of someone asking the question and ignoring the issue if it’s a misunderstanding that she can put right? She is a very strange, rude, arrogant woman, success or no success.
So she's got examples of others stories and my own trauma experiences, which can be used anytime she likes in her own research and I can't delete them or opt out?Exactly.

I really want my data back. I logged in to look at the course on there I've actually completed and it allows me to view but not delete my answers. Here's some of the questions I've answered
Oh dear. Jaimi, I'm sorry but your wife IS a fraud.Erm…
then names Malala, Greta Thunberg and Beyoncé amongst others.
You articulated it just as wellExactly this @littlesunflower! You’ve just articulated what I was trying to say but you’ve done a way better job than me.
Yes the interactive one is the one I took. Here's some of the questions
Write about the grooming tactics that were used against you.
What did I think feel and do when the abuse was happening to me?
Are there any life events that have triggered you?
Write about your own experiences of victim blaming?
Write a letter to the younger version of yourself.
How has sexual trauma impacted your sex life?
Write about the intimate contact you do and do not enjoy.
Write about your own personal opinions of the term survivor or victim.
I'm a senior researcher and my work is on VAWG, and I would never ask my research participants, or anyone else for that matter, to answer such questions in a virtual environment. Doing so would run afoul of BPS ethics guidelines for internet-mediated research, as well as my own personal standards for what constitutes ethical research. That participants are answering questions like the ones above in an online environment opens up considerable issues -- Is the participant over the minimum age required to give informed consent? And given the lack of control in an online environment over the research process with regard to minimising harm to research participants, will participants partaking in her course be adequately protected? On these issues, the BPS has offered guidance and state that this type of research should not be done online; See page 18: https://cms.bps.org.uk/sites/default/files/2022-06/Ethics Guidelines for Internet-mediated Research_0.pdf.
I hope one of the people who have registered for the interactive module takes these issues up with the BPS.
Rather than respond appropriately to the legitimate concerns that are being raised about data collection on her website, she rebuffs it with this:What a warped view of themselves those two have.

Came here to say just that.Here is Jessica implying she works directly/clinically with clients. Again.
Also, let's recall how she took her kids out of school on a whim, pontificated about being a more involved concerned parent in doing so, then shoved them back in when the novelty wore off, and now doesn't even have them living with her.Exactly.

I'm really starting to feel quite distressed by this now. Legally she has to delete my data if I ask her, but how do I enforce that?
Other things she can simultaneously be:Fully agree. Clinical and research here. Here is Jessica implying she works directly/clinically with clients. Again.
She's not even a lesbian. Bisexual at most.Other things she can simultaneously be:
A survivor of abuse AND a perpetrator of abuse
A survivor of abuse AND someone that can't speak for all other survivors
A PhD in psychology AND not qualified for clinical practice
An academic AND a grifter
A woman AND a potential predator
A lesbian AND subject to valid criticism that isn't based on homophobia
