I know the training can be very all-consuming, particularly at the higher levels. It has great value, but if you try to leave or go at your own pace they take it as a personal affront because it threatens their sense of themselves. As long as your boyfriend has integrity he won't become one of those creepers who insists there is only one path and that everyone must follow or be excluded. Either way it's probably good for him, just expensive. If he starts to express deep, guilt-inducing regret that you or anyone else isn't doing the course, or if he manipulatively uses psychological language to achieve selfish ends, you know he has bad character. Dump him.

The boyfriend may not have started out with 'bad character' if he behaves this way.

All this may be stuff that PD has trained him to do.

Persons who have been processed through other LGATs (Large Group Awareness Trainings) are often trained to do exactly this-disruption of their customery sleep wake patterns, heavy pressure from the group and trainer to disclose personal information, exercises desgined to induce regression and feelings of fear and ecstacy.

Then, when they're feeling high, they get socialized to hit on and proslytize everyone to do the group or get dumped.

Thats not due to 'bad character' on the part of the subjects; its 'bad chracter' on the part of these LGAT groups.

Best thing is to help the boyfriend see that PD has a similarity to other kinds of exploitative groups so that he can dump the group.
