Hello to those people here who've have such a traumatic experience. I'm sorry for what happened to you. Psychosis at a LGAT is not what you expect or bargain for. It brings back memories of the psychosis I experienced in "the blocks game" in Money & You. We were also sleep and food deprived for the entire 3 1/2 days. It was common for the seminars to finish at 1 am an

Hi there, This may be of I interest. Anthony Robbins is a Notable Money & You Graduate. I did that LGAT and I can say from experience some of the processes and games, even the language was borrowed from Scientology. They don't necessarily have any affiliation because Money & You borrowed from various sources to create their seminar. Hope this sheds some light. I have

A good, critical article about Tony Robbins: Quote: "We’ve been sold an idea that it’s possible for us to simultaneously make a million dollars, be madly in love with our partner, have explosive sex, wake up looking like a model, and tackle every single day brimming with happiness and excitement. Worse still, the personal development industry has tricked us into believing that if we

Very good advice to immediately and permanently stop any communication with anyone who practices overt NLP-Hypnosis for profit. Especially anyone associated with the Tony Robbins companies, as they are constantly messing with your mind using very advanced techniques of persuasion. Of course these days people are doing it COVERTLY so its difficult to know who is doing what, which is their poin

The comments on The Guardian site are interesting. There are some Robbins "volunteers" posting, who volunteered at Robbins seminars for 9 YEARS. They worked for free to make Tony more millions of dollars for almost a decade of their life. Its all just a big game for guys like Robbins. Getting people to work for you for free, is a game to him. People are just objects to use. The

Yes, that person above was a Robbins Clone, who was scammed by Robbins and took all his LGAT courses. Then that person goes out and tried to scam others, using the same tech, but obviously doing it very badly. They will simply lie about their net worth, or figure out a way to forge the paperwork if they can get away with it. Anyone who has trained with Robbins, is essentially a professional

They are already blaming the victims. The original article quotes a Robbinite follower, that you won't get burned if you are in a "peak state", which of course is a lie. A brazen lie. You don't get burned if there is lots of ash covering the coals acting as an insulator, and you pass over quickly. But Robbins screwed up, got sloppy, and these people BLINDLY walked over re

What Anticult said. My guess is that Robbins leaves human wreckage wherever he holds his seminars. I remember my NLP training and it was sedate compared to the full on emotional and hypnotic assault of Robbins. Anyone who is emotionally fragile or has a underlying psychological issue can be serious messed up in these seminars. Thing is, higher the intensity the harder it is on certain people.

How many of these burn victims will be told (in someway) that it was their own fault for not having the faith or the trust in Tony to let go and "unleash the power within". Isn't there some lawyer/barrister out there that can bring a serious civil suit against this filthy pig?

They need to find a team of lawyers who work on contingency. The problem there, is all the lawyers care about is getting paid, making a settlement, and agreeing to non-disclosure. This is why the sharks like Tony Robbins and so many others, can do anything they want. And they know it. A shark knows the fishes are at his mercy. The only time a shark like Tony Robbins can get brought down, w

We may never learn whats going on if the plaintiffs agree to a settlement in which all the records are sealed.

Many many people have been burned at these events, but its been covered up.

Amazing. Let's hope this gives a big bump in the road for the bastard Tony Robbins.
