Personnaly, I don't trust any of this LGAT nonsense. And I doubt very much about your new self being emotionally stable and well balanced.
That's kind of mean... who are you to validate/invalidate his experience?Quote

What made you think you needed a new self?Quote
Based on my own experience of seeking and attempting to acquire a brand new "self"...
What led you to MKP, i.e., what made you think MKP would provide a solution?Quote
...the LGAT way
What was the illusion? I mean, you imply that post-MKP you were seeing life in a particular way that one day was no longer useful for you. I'm curious as to what this "illusion" is.Quote
...when I started to see through the illusion...
If I understand you correctly, since you are using the term recovery, then MKP created some sort of dependency? Is this the illusion you are referring to, only being able to understand and react to life's situations "the MKP way"?Quote

Would you also explain, given what is known about MP now through this thread, why it should not be considered group therapy?
And why would someone seek help in their life from MP rather than a more safe and conventional approach through a licensed professional?

My H attended Weekend Warriors last December. His 12 step sponsor insisted he needed to go, and would not take no for an answer. While he was gone that weekend, I started searching for info on them. Most of what I got was from their own websites. I found some stuff on blogs that really upset me.
When he came home, he was pretty quiet. Said he did not want to go to the I-group until he had some questions answered from his sponsor. He did say he felt he got some good stuff out of that weekend, but he was upset by some other stuff.
I showed him what I discovered. Food deprivation, sleep deprivation, intimidation, nudity, maybe some sexual abuse, sensory overload from beating drums, isolation from family, etc. I had discovered this is a form of brainwashing. He agreed with me this all went on.
He has not gone back. He received many phone calls from this group asking him why. His sponsor is continuing to put pressure on him to continue. His sponsor knows I am very opposed to continued involvement and this would cause problems in our marriage. He still continues to put the pressure on my H.
My H is starting to say things like "maybe I need this group". This scares me.
Ivy, you posted you had other information on their agenda. Could you please let me know. I have read of numerous marriages failing after involvement in this group. Even my H was surprised at this statistic. However, he says the marriages were probably alread doomed. Just a coincidence.
I need something to wake my H up. Please help.
