Worrieddadof4, Life Off is even worse. Each training gets worse. For the trainees, they feel it's them getting better with each "graduation". It's gross and so sad for them. They are brainwashed. I started in 2006 and left in 2009. I went through Quest, Summit, Lift Off, Inner Woman 1 and Inner Woman 2. I almost signed up for the higher trainings but was lucky enough to

army-of-me, Ugh, I get so sad when I know of someone entering Impact. I try to warn them but it usually doesn't do anything until they see the destruction for themselves. I've been out since 2009 and I still get flashbacks of the horror of what happened there. It's scary! Also, anyone who was in Impact when Ward was around (between 2005 - current I believe) knows he's a

Anyonealive, I know all too well. I was actually in Impact for 4 years starting in 2006 and it damn near ruined my life. I went through Quest, Summit, Lift Off, Inner Woman 1 and Inner Woman 2. I was brainwashed. The only advice I can give is to be as supportive as possible. No matter what you say or do, you will always be "wrong". Even though Impact preaches that their is no right o

suppabre, I'm so sorry to hear about what you're going through. It's one of the hardest positions to be in to be a family member of an Impact trainee. I went through Quest, Summit and Lift Off 4 years ago but I hear it hasn't changed much. It's a cult. They brainwash people to believe things that aren't true. They use forms of therapy that should only be used by a li

Found something interesting that I wanted to share with everyone here. Apparently Darren Leighton is in debt $1,808,266.54 from not paying his mortgage starting in 2007!! I know that Deana and Darren are split up because Darren ended up cheating on her with one of the trainees so they're not together. I don't see Deana's name anywhere on the legal notice either. Looks like all t

fromalongtimeago and vicki_snshne - Thank you for your input on Impact Trainings. I went through Quest 4 years ago, Summit 3 years ago and Lift Off immediately after Summit. At the time, it was the best experience of my life!! I had been through so much in my life that I felt lost until Impact. I truly believed it saved my life, at the time. After Lift Off I decided I wanted to be a part o

Hopeful Soul: One thought that I have wanted to share was stimulated by the notion that Impact Trainings is Scientology Lite. Another way to look at it is that Scientology is Impact Trainings on Steroids. LOVE it!! That is the perfect name for Impact, Scientology Lite.

It's been a little while since I've been on here. Figured I would come on and say hi. I've read through all the recent posts. Very interesting. Good to know there are people who are learning the truth about Impact and finding support here. Unfortunately, I still have to somewhat deal with Impact in a way because my in-laws are involved still. So they are all high and mighty o

I haven't been on here in a really long time. I received an email from someone asking questions and decided to read through the newer posts. Everytime I hear stories about people struggling because of Impact it breaks my heart. I have to tell a story that I hope will help Mother of Impactee: Mother of Impactees ~ I, like your daughter, went through some traumatic experiences in my l

Hello everyone, I have not been ignoring you. For some reason I am not getting the email notifications when there are new posts or when I get an email on this site. I did respond to those who had emailed me on here. :) Anyway, just wanted to respond to a few posts. Spiritual?: That makes sense what you said about support groups. It wouldn't work if someone became dependent on anot

Wow, that is awesome! I love the responses at the bottom. Made me laugh. Especially the first one about not trusting strangers. lol Give the guy some time and he'll be on here looking for support. He'll learn the truth when it's his turn. It took me nearly 2 years. I think those who go through LMTand those who at least staff after Lift Off see the truth behind closed door

Jeez, where is everyone? I had a thought after coming across a post in this forum. It's about the music they use at Impact. I know for a fact that they sell copyrighted music for $85 or so for the whole set. They call it "Impact Music." It's famous artists such as Celine Dion, Yanni, Enya, John Denver, Natasha Bedingfield, etc. Has anyone looked into this further

I wanted to share here about an interesting message I personally received from Hans recently. I found it more funny that anything because I believe that no one is above anyone no matter what. I truly believe we are all equals on this planet so for someone to actually tell me they are above me and that they ARE God, makes me laugh. There is a legal issue that Impact has nothing to do with but

Is there any kind of support group for those who have gone through LGATs? I am struggling with some things and it would be so nice if someone put something together like that. Anyone know anything? Thanks. :)
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

I definitely agree with you on the "no thinking" crap. At Impact they are constantly correcting people on there language. If someone says any of the following words: think, believe, help, right, wrong, hope, try, want, need, understand. There may be more but those are the most used. Think and believe are replaced with feel, help is replaced with assist, there is no right or wrong on

There was actually someone who almost had an affair with Hans or did have an affair with Hans? That's just gross!! There are so many people who worship him as a God. It's crazy. I did go to the All Grad training in Salt Lake and it was just a waste of a Saturday. Hans talked forever and although many people look up to him a lot got up to use the restroom because they were falling a

Hey, I am somewhat new. lol I have been reading these posts for about a year now. At first I laughed because I hadn't yet experienced what others have but as I've read here, things change there fast. I went through Quest, Summit and Lift Off just over a year ago and since then have been staffing multiple trainings because I couldn't afford the LMT trainings and always felt a
