RaCeR---X,
THANK YOU very much for the link to:

This is very much like what I would like to create with Ex, Former and others here -- a document that reveals what really happens in those "trainings" (read: cultish rituals) around breaking people down, and filling them back up with new-age philosophical crap) from the GPs through TIT III and their "mastery Trainings" (especially the BS I experienced in Inner Woman I and II). Then I would like to create one of "Hans and Sally's Top Ten Lies and Top Ten Lawsuits, including all the various incorporations of Impact from its founding (or before as Lifespring), thru Impact Incorporated, Impact International, Light Training, Lite Training, Quest Development, Harmony Institute, Harmony-Impact, back to "Impact Since 1985 (puke)."
When you click on the above website be sure to click on the replies. Among them you'll find the following:

Emotional Scam for Money
In regards to the report listed about Impact Training, I too attended both Quest and Summit. I'm in my mid fifties and having survived Viet Nam, I thought I knew everything about protecting myself, until I went to Utah. I traveled all the way from Los Angeles and when all was said and done . . . (it had cost me) 60 days and over $12,000.00 . . .
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
When I talk about $3,000.00 and 27+ days if NOTImpacted were to follow Boonetahoe's advice to do Quest to TIT1, I am NOT EXAGGERATING.
The reality is probably closer to the 60 days and $12,000.00 this guy describes when you include opportunity cost (missing work for all those days), plus travel, the unscheduled group meetings, costs for costumes for your Stretch Day, meals with your buddy, gown and tuxedo rental for Summit graduation and travel if you live out of state, and ON AND ON AND ON.
HarmonyGreat LifeVision WorksImpactRisingStarDiscoveryTheExperienceExcellTITTheFounder'sTraining The rainingResourceRealizationsWWASPS, THEY ARE ALL the same BS.
ANY defense of it, by Boonetahoe or anyone else, sounds to me like John McCain saying he created value while being in a prison camp in Vietnam, or Frankl's finding the meaning of life in a holocaust camp.
I can't argue with their experiences being true.
They created value. Maybe they found things there they could not have found anywhere else. I hope they did.
And while GLF/Impact are not as bad as those two prison camps, what value is created by being screamed at in the ways this guy describes at the link above, or being called "Daddy's little play thing," or "Mommy's Mess up" or "Tickle me Elmo" or whatever sends those who have been sexually abused, or are the result of their mother's being raped, or drugged, or drunken affairs or God know's what --- straight to sobbing and collapsing on the floor, and at what cost? and with what risks?
And for those still committed to it, who aren't getting paid bundles to train or staff it, or who aren't getting their emotional kicks out of being "Trainers In Training" or the like, there is a psychological explanation for it, it's called the Stockholm syndrome.
