Is your friend 18years old or over?
If they took her against her will or she's not of adult age, that is illegal and she should call the police immediately.
If not, then Lesson #1 for anyone doing any kind of personal development, LoA or not, is to take full responsibility for the decisions you make.
If she made the decision to go to the seminar, she needs to stop playing the victim that someone else made that decision for her. Even if they used fancy advertising, pretty pictures, handed out fliers with crazy promises etc. it was still her decision to go to the seminar and do this.
One of the first things I always notice with people who can't get LoA working for them is that they don't want to take responsibility for their actions and decisions. Nobody can make you do anything in life, except die. Everything else is a choice - YOUR choice.
Forget LoA. Start with that first. That's what I had to work on first a long time ago when I first got into personal development. Taking responsibility for EVERYTHING in my life.
